The song seems to be using only the chords B, F# and C# (and E5 in the intro); 
however there are multiple ways of creating those sounds. 
Another version available on here tells you to play 
A, E, and B, (and D5) while using a capo in 2nd fret. 
However getting from E to B can be awkward for beginners, 
so here's a version that I came up with that might make it 
easier for you, while still being able to play along with the song 
(e.g. not in a different key):

Capo 7th fret

INTRO:  C (x32010@1)A5 (x022xx@1)F (133211@1) F (133211@1)A5 (x022xx@1)C (x32010@1)[CHORUS]

(some more notes: 
-7th fret is quite far up for a capo, so it only works on good acoustics or
electric guitars
-play A5 simply like a normal A except you only hit the A, D and G string/or 
you can mute the B string.
-If you don't care for playing/singing along with the record, there are lots 
of easy variations available (e.g. Transposing, with change of key). 
For example you could play C, G, and D; or D, A, and E; or you can play the
 version described here without a capo.
