These chords are really basic and don't really do justice to the song. Having said that, 
its a lot of fun to thrash them out and sing along to.

To make it sound a little more like the original you can mess about with the D & G 
chords in the verses, listen to the song and hopefully it should make sense.

Well we'd practice every week in my bedroom
While my parents were working in town
And one morning in our school assembly
Played a cover of "Don't Let Me Down"
The performance was nervous and awkward
But the passion was real and profound
And the kids in the audience laughing
While the band just looked at the ground

CHORUS 2:

But the victory
For the kids who believe in rock and roll
I know for me
That performance lives, it never grows old
But we're making our own way out
Yeah we're making our own way out
