I'm just finishing what Adam started. Hopefully I'm not too far off. Just like in the original by Todo, there is a motif-like part which is basically the intro to the song. Through the second line of a verse he goes into it if you listen. I'll just put this three chord part in parenthesis and then it's just a matter of getting the rhythm down.
