There's kind of a trippy thing going on here. The bass and the keyboard are making the music, but there's an invisible place where the guitar isn't - and that's where the chords are. In the intro, the bass is playing around Am and D, but the keys are doing an Am7 D D Dsus4 -- the guitar would be playing Am and D. The keyboard does many interesting variations on the chords, but the focus is "where would a guitar fit into this all?"
               Chords:
                      D/F# Dm/F
                  e |--2----1--
                  B |--3----3--
                  G |--2----2--
                  D |--4----3--
                  A |----------
                  E |----------












What a long strange trip it's been!
