Here are the chords to "One of Us" by Guy Sebastian.
I think that the song is really fantastic! I love the dark
mood and sound, as well as the unusual chord progression. And
as a cherry on top - to finish it off, it even has a key change! (which
really surprised me the first time I heard this song)
As I mentioned earlier, this song has an unusual chord progression so as
a result there are many barre chords. I've tried to simplify it as much as I
could with my placement of the capo but some barre chords still remain.
I don't recommend this song for beginners. Also during the key change, the chords
I tabbed out are for capo 4. However you could also move your capo up to fret 5
and play Bm, E, G, and F instead. Have fun playing this song :)
