I have figured these out, however I'm not 100% sure on the proper name 
of some of the chords, although I think I'm close.  It's definitely the
 right version as far as I can tell - and it's really not as hard to 
play as it looks!

In the chorus play D, then strike the open E string and play D again, 
then strike the top-string pressing F# (2nd fret) and play D again, 
then strike the top-string pressing G (3rd fret) and play G.
