The first initial guitar riff is a quick-like walk down from Bm, A, to G, and back to A.
You’ll have to listen to the actual song to hear how the chords change…but it’s obvious.
VERSE 1

Baby I'll be your soldier
Bm A G A (repeat riff)
Gladly I'll do your bidding
Bm A G A (repeat riff)
For just a taste of what you're holding
Bm A G A (repeat riff)
For just a taste you could own me

Em G D F#7 (or just F#)
I'll be right here lying in the hands of God

Here it comes dive right into me
Now the floor is the ceiling
If you never flew why would you?
