Firstly: Dragon is a New Zealand band - though I see that's already
                                        been pointed out.

April Sun  - this is off the top of my head.....
---------

over intro and verses:
strum Asus4 and A for a bar each ie ||: Asus4 | A :||

then after the bit "snakes eyes...." the chords are
D, C#m, Bm,  then one guitar plays A, GMaj7 while another plays an A, sliding
up to an F# on the high E string

over the chorus strum ||:D | GMaj7 :||
ie GMaj7           D            GMaj7    D         .....
  " Take me to the April sun in Cuba.    Whoooooaaaa.....
-with the A->F# slide over the GMaj7 at the appropriate time.
the chorus ends with a 'powerful' D strummed twice

then verse and chorus again

over the quiet bit strum  ||: Bm | A :|| - in fact there isn't actually
a guitar doing this on the song, but a Bm and A seem to be implied by
the bass, and vocals.
then it's back to D, C#m, B and chorus etc

then final verse

chords:
Asus4 0   A 0   D  2 or 5  C#m 4  Bm  2  GMaj7 2
      3     2      3    7      5      3        0
      2     2      2    7      6      4        0
      2     2      0    7      6      4        0
      x     x      x    x      x      x        x
      x     x      x    x      x      x        x
                   ------
                      |- (depending on whether it's C#m or GMaj7 to follw)
