with other acoustic guitar strumming D like a mad dog. 
 
 
Repeat, then fig 2:

With G strumming on the quarter notes underneath. 
 
Repeat figure 1, then figure 2 
 
then figure 3:

while the guitar 2 does:

3-3-5-8-5-3---3-3-5-|3-3-5-8-5-3---3-3-5-|

The little synthesizer fill that follows each 
repetition of the above:

-0----------|-0--------| 
-3----------|-5--------| 
-4----------|-6--------| 
-5----------|-7--------| 
-5----------|-7--------| 
-3----------|-5--------| 
 
 
Then figure 1 twice, figure 2 twice, 
slowing and ending with a G and hold...... 
 
then begin the song: 
 
play this (figure 4) three times: 
 
2--2-2-0-3---|0--0-0-2----0| 
3--3-3-1-0---|1--1-1-3----1| 
2--2-2-0-0---|0--0-0-2----0|    relax, 
0--0-0-0-0---|0--0-0-0----0|    take it easy.

2--2-2-0-0---|7--0--2----| 
0--0-0-0-0---|0--0--0----| 
-------------|-----------| 
-------------|-----------|

fourth and sixth measures of figure 4 (above): 
 
-------------------| 
---------(7)-------| 
------(5)---(7)----|    (let ring) 
---------------(7)-|
