This is a great song from Joel, off his equally great album "LaDeDa". I wasn't a fan of
song before I saw t3h man play it live.

Here are the basic chords:

Em: 022xxx
Cm: x466xx
Ab: 466xxx
A : 577xxx
Bm: x244xx (for some of the chords, it's easier to play at 799xxx)
G : 230033
C : x3201x
D : xxx323


The first half of the song, the "Nina" part is played with just the power chords. If you
to get it to sound like it does on the CD, just use the first two strings of the power
and hammer on the third string with the rythym of the song. For the "Albert" half, just 
the chords and it sounds great.
