This chord patter runs thoughtout the rets of the song, the pattern of the verse is the 
throughout and the chorus is the same throughout apart from in the final chorus


Basically there is a key change that occurs, the chorus is played though normally, then 
is a noticable shift.


The "E", "A", "B" combination becomes


"F#", "B", "Ab"

and then the final part moves up again to


"Ab", "C#", "Eb"

The same strumming pattern is used throughout, listen to the CD to alter the pattern to 
the key change towards the end
