The chords are simply played in a strum bass,2,1 and you can enter some 3 and 4 between 
to "fill it up"
In the G I prefer open e string and D not playing it at all..
I added a special intro that is very close to the original piano.
It's just recommend, if you feel it's too hard try the alternative.
The whole point is to play with the e string, use the strum, it will help.

G* =  320030
Am5 = x02211
D* =  xx023x
E* =  022111

Verse:
Am                               E
  There are children standing here,
                             G
Arms outstretched into the sky,
                          D
Tears drying on their face, he has been here.
Am                           E
  Brothers lie in shallow graves.
                          G
Fathers lost without a trace.
                               D
A nation blind to their disgrace, since he's been here.

Chorus:
Am               E           G
  And I see no bravery, No bravery,
         D
In your eyes anymore, Only sadness.
Am               E           G
  And I see no bravery, No bravery,
         D
In your eyes anymore, Only sadness.
F D             F D
   Only sadness

Verse:
Am                          E
  Houses burnt beyond repair.
                               G
The smell of death is in the air.
                        D
A woman weeping in despair says, he has been here.
Am                           E
  Tracer lighting up the sky.
                               G
It's another families turn, to die.
                          D
A child afraid to even cry out says, he has been here.

Chorus:
Am               E           G
  And I see no bravery, No bravery,
         D
In your eyes anymore, Only sadness.
Am               E           G
  And I see no bravery, No bravery,
         D
In your eyes anymore, Only sadness.

 There are children standing here,
                             G
Arms outstretched into the sky,
                                D
But no one asks the question why, he has been here.
Am                               E
 Old men kneel to accept their fate.
                                 G
Wives and daughters cut and raped.
                          D
A generation drenched in hate, says he has been here.
