Chords:
OK, this is, to my ears, correct to a point...it's more of an accurate interpretation an accurate copy.

It refers to pressing the fret the top E three frets from the root barre (The whole song consists of barre chords). Here's an example: Fm: 133111 Fm (E3): 431111 As above, you may have to depress certain frets, but I'll list suitable chords at the of the tab in order to make more sense.
