There are a couple of chord shapes which I need to explain:
 
Three chords based around Am, which I'll call:
 
    Am      Asus2     Asus4
            (Am2)     (Am4)
N ++++++    ++++++    ++++++
  ||||1|    ||||||    ||||1|
1 ++++++    ++++++    ++++++
  ||23||    ||23||    ||23||
2 ++++++    ++++++    ++++++
  ||||||    ||||||    ||||4|
 
And three chords based around D, which I'll call:
 
    D       Dsus2     Dsus4
            (D2)      (D4)
N ++++++    ++++++    ++++++
  ||||||    ||||||    ||||||

The opening sequence to the song. I've left in timing counts (the song
is in 4/4 as far as I can tell)..

D.... D.... D.... D.... D D4 D D2 D .. D D4 D D2 D  ad nauseum whatever - I
didn't count them
 
plus a couple of chords to finish..
 
Am  Am G G F F G
 
(some picking is done around these chord shapes, but I can't be bothered working
it out - should be easy though - lots of twiddly work with pinkys etc.)
 
 
Another Version:
