A twelve string guitar plays, at "Run around in the radiation":

...and an Am Gm F pattern at "So still, so dark..."
Listen where to play the respective part. Not that tricky. The chords are pretty easy, simply Am F in the intro, Am D in the verses, and Am F in the chorus.
There are several guitars playing on the record. To play it on just one guitar, the following blend of the chords & riffs can be used (leave the notes ringing for as long as possible) :
For the Am F pattern :
e ---0---0----1---0---------- B ------------1-------3-1-0-- G -2---2---2--2-2---2-------- D -2----------3-------------- A -0------------------------- E ---------------------------
, and for the Am D one :
e ------------------------------------------------------------- B -0/1-1-1--1-1-1--0/1-1-1--1-1-1--1-3-3-3--3-3-3--3---1---0--- G -2---2-2--2-2-2--2---2-2--2-2-2--2-2-2-2--2-2-2--3---1---0--- D -2---2-2--2-2-2--2---2-2--2-2-2--2-0-0-0--0-0-0--2-2---2----- A -0---0-0--0-0-0--0---0-0--0-0-0--0---------------0-0---0----- E -------------------------------------------------------------
(The rhythm of this can look difficult to follow, however it will hopefully make sense when you listen to the song.)

I happened to have FALAA on tonight, and got inspired to figure out what he's *really* playing. Close to what I had, but not exactly. (It's almost exactly what I'd had about two revisions ago... :) Here's the Real Thing.
