(don?t know name of that C-chord, any help?)

So during the song, where you see a chord name, what?s 
really being played is
what?s above, baselines first and the chords strummed, 
pretty simple but a task
to tab out;)

Also, Larry said to just post this without all the 
chords so if anyone can get
that darn bridge figured out, private message me or 
submit your own version?I
think its in Ab or A-dim something like that?enjoy!
