I'm not sure what the proper names of the chords are, but, they
are all in a standard, 1st positon "G" shape, and then moved
around. I'm gonna name them by their note on the E-String.
Here are the chords used:
(G) (F#) (Bb) (A) (C) (D) (Eb) (G*)
e|---3------2------6------5------8-----10-----11-----15----->
b|---3------2------6------5------8-----10-----11-----15----->
g|---0------0------0------0------0------0------0------0----->
d|---0------0------0------0------0------0------0------0----->
a|---2------1------5------4------7------9-----10-----14----->
e|---3------2------6------5------8-----10-----11-----15----->
You'll have to listen to the song for the strumming pattern...
It would be too much to try and write all that out.
