 Here are the two chords played before the chorus:

 b--4----------------9------------------------------------------------
 g--6---------------11------------------------------------------------
 d--7---------------12------------------------------------------------
 a--7---------------12------------------------------------------------

 	Whoever posted No Quarter the other day, thanks. I went home
 and tried it (listened to the tape at the same time) and found that
 it sounded better one half step higher, though. Maybe my guitar is
 tuned off by a fret..
 
 e-------------------------------------------------------------- 
 B--------------------------------------------------------------
 G--------------------------------------------------------------
 D-----7-7-7------7-7-7------7------------------------3-0-------
 A-3/5-5-5-5--3/5-5-5-5--3/5-5------5-5-5-3-------3-0-----------
 E------------------------------1/3-3-3-3-1---3-5---------------
 
 	If nothing else, that last part is easer to play, and it
 sounds right. BTW, I just got a new guitar (Les Paul), but the 
 strings seem to be sticking in the nut when I bend. Any ideas/
 solutions? Thanks!
