The main chord progression is
C C* G G7 Am Am F F (keep in mind that these are 8ths, not 4ths)
For C*, put a pinky on the third fret of the first string, like when you play a G chord.
I recommend playing the G like a G7 with your pinky on the first string, so you only have to shift your fingers
up from the C* and it's easy to switch to G7.
During the verses, you don't have to play the C* and G7, so it's just C G Am F.
Note that every 4th line, the progression is C G Am Am.
