Arghhh, you know when you can't just quite nail a chord in a song?

Well I'm hoping someone out there can help.

I'm learning 'Misery Business' by Paramore for our band and am stuck on a kind of 'Middle eight' section just before the solo?

I know the guitars are tuned half a step down and also drop the E flat to D flat, (As in Drop D tuning.) but I'm struggling to nail the clean chorus, chiming chords they use in this section, (Check out the Youtube link to hear them, @ 01:53)

I think their root is in E followed by G and then possibly D, i also know they most likely have each guitarist maybe playing a different part of the chords to fill the sound out, but I would have thought you'd be able to come close at least with some kinda inversion or something?

So I'm asking for help from those of you who know how a darn sight more chords than I for some help really, I'd like to try and at least approximate...with one guitar what they're playing, tried the usual tab sites but nothing really comes close.

Buy a complete transcription and backing tracks, etc. from here for very little cash:

(Use Babelfish to translate the German if you don't understand it)

I've the transcription at home if you just want the chord, but the mods here have been rather picky in the past about the copyright implications of posting tab or chords on the forum. *frown*

The transcriber is very good at what he does, I've followed his output for years.

To be honest I've pretty much nailed the song in it's entirety, just that damn clean section in the bridge, if you could maybe mail me the chord sequence and what they look like, (I suspect they are inversions of some kind?) I'd be eternally gratefull, I'll also check the guy out, is he reasonable cost wise?

I'd only really need him if I was absolutely stuck but handy to know all the same, I'll PM you my e-mail addy, if you want any backing track gimme a shout I've hundreds!

Low E to high E, left to right, unplayed strings shown with en dashes (–):

Dadd9 = 0 0 4 6 0 0

A5add9 = – 0 7 6 0 0

D5 = – – 2 4 0 0

F#m11 = – – 4 2 0 0

E/G# = – – 6 4 0 0

F#m11 = – – 4 2 0 0

I'll mail it to you too.
