During the solo, move up to the G string on the 11th fret position.
During the verses, play the acoustic D chord, then move the step downs on
the A string, then the E string for the Ab and G. If you're playing with the
band, just play D and let the bass play the step down notes.
For the E5 in the chorus, just mute the G string but play every other note.
For the pre-chorus, this is what the lead is playing:
Bm Bm/sus A Asus4
e|--------| e|--------|
B|--------| B|--------|
G|--7--6--| G|--7--6--|
D|--7--7--| D|--7--7--|
A|--x--x--| A|--x--x--|
E|--7--7--| E|--5--5--|
You can just play the D & G strings and not even play the root note since
the bass is playing it... but if you're playing acoustic by yourself, there
ya go.
Let me know if you have any input or corrections.
