The intro/chorus goes:

D     A     E     F#m (-->E)  Bm7  Bm/D   F#(m)

The voicings which I use (now bear in mind that I figured this out from
the memory playing along with the radio once, so these
voicing may not be perfect--but they're pretty good):


D          A         E        F#m       Bm7      Bm/D

|-10--  +  -9---  +  -x--  +  (9)--  +  -7--  +  -7--
|-10--  +  -10--  +  -9--  +  -10--  +  -7--  +  -7--
|-11--  +  -9---  +  -9--  +  -11--  +  -7--  +  -7--
|-0---  +  -11--  +  -9--  +  -11--  +  -7--  +  -0--
|-----  +  (0)--  +  ----  +  (9)--  +  ----  +  ----
|-----  +  -----  +  ----  +  -----  +  -7--  +  ----

Slide up to the D;  Do a pull off from A to E;  Hammer on the F#m from
the E and then pull of from it back to the E briefly
before doing the Bm7 thing.

The verse is just pounding on this F#(m) to A octave thing.
like this:

|-------------------------------------
|-------------------------------------
|----------------------------------2--
|-4-(4)-(4)-4-(4)-(4)-4-(4)-(4)-4-(2)-
|-x--x---x--x--x---x--x--x---x--x--0--
|-2--x---x--2--x---x--2--x---x--2-----

right before the chorus it goes

F#m (2nd fret barre chord)    E (open)

Actually my band and I are thinking about doing an acoustic version of
this song at an upcoming concert--I've really been
getting into Randy Bachman of late (both BTO and Guess Who).  Drop me a
line if this helped.

Here's  my chart for the song - I've used a few abbrev's, and u'll
have to align most of the lyrics.....

That man to man, the world o'er
Will brothers be, fo' a' that.
