I put two asterisks after the chord name, to mark the barred
chords. Or you dont have to play any barred chords, and just
play the normal versions. I think its really up to personal 
preference with this song, but you can definately hear him
slide up to that barred Am.

smiling at confusion

dancing on the highway
Am**                 G                  Bm Bbm
the broken line that leads from you to me

one strike in the mural

planting it to place like someones kiss
C/G                 C
a dead calm on the tranquil
Am**                G                       Bm Bbm
sea between you and me, well thats all that is

C/G                     C        Amaj7
but im here if you want me     my love
      G            Bm Bbm
dancing on the highway

=====================================================
[Break into the solo!, its mostly just a powerful
[downstroke, and using your ring/middle fingers to
[kinda pluck/strum the B and G strings of various
[degrees and volumes. You kinda have to screw around
[and listen to the song, but here are the notes with 
[the hammer-on he does. ! = make this string sound
[in the strumming! Listen to the song for the rhythm.
