The verses and choruses are quite easy and straightforward, but the little progression
that repeats throughout (D-Bm-A-A-B5-G5) is a little tricky until you figure out the timing.
Practice it a bit and you'll get it.
Power chords sound okay, but I think it sounds much
better if you open up to full chords, except the B5 and G5 I noted, and just palm mute
and strum alternately as the song dictates.
D - xx0232
Bm - x24432
F#m - 244222
G - 320033
A - x02220
B5 - x244xx
G5 - 355xxx
