This is pretty easy song once you get the rhythm right, you will need a capo on 5th fret.

Here's chords relative to the 5th fret:

Am [0 2 2 0 x x]
C (x32010@1)[3 2 0 0 x x]
F (133211@1)[3 3 2 0 x x]
G (320003@1)[x x 0 2 3 2]

Main riff goes like this (simplified):

Am (x02210@1)       C (x32010@1)           F (133211@1)     CG||-------0----------0-----|-------0----------0-----|| (x32010@1)D||-------2----------0-----|-------2----------0-----||
A||--2-------2--2-------2--|--3-------3--2-------2--||
E||--0-------0--3-------3--|--3-------3--3-------3--||
