SIMPLE VERSION:

Verse: Bm-D-Bm, F#m-A-F#m, 
D-A-Bm(One stroke on the first D and A)

Refrain: G-A-Bm,D-A-Bm,

Outro: Bm, F#m, D, A, Bm, F#m, 
D, A, Bm

Chords:

Bm: 224432 OR 799777
D: 000232 OR 557775
F#m: 244222
A: 002220 OR 577655
E: 0221000 OR 779967
G: 320033(320003) OR 355433

The F#m can be tricky if you can't do bar chords yet, and it's hard to find a good 
replacement for it, however, it might be easier to do it at

-99(11)(11)(10)9- if you can.

If not, there's no real alternative than playing the song with a Capo on 2nd fret.

With capo, the chords are:

Bm = Am 002210
D = C 032010
F#m = Em 022000
A = 002220
E = D 000232
G = F 133211

Have fun :) E-mail me at Christian-cc@live.dk if you feel something should be corrected 
or you have some issue with the song, i'll be glad to help as much as i can.

Ps: I might adding some of the riffs too, at some point. Check back eventually for 
updates .p
