the chords are a base - not everyone finds it easy to pick. it took me a while. i used these chords as a root to learning to pick the song and it helped me loads. Appreciated, chords and this song don't really go together but i reckon they help for beginners.

very good. a concise way to learn the song, if you know what some of the intricacies sound like. but this certainly should be viewed as a way to learn it, and not a chord alternative.
