    The verses are C-major and G-major chords.

    C-major is: C, E, and G notes played together.

    G-major is: G, B, and D notes played together.

    Chorus is F-major, G-major, C-major, E-major.

    F-major is: F, A, and C

    E-major is: E, G#, and B

    The nuances are a little bit more complicated, but you can fake it a little bit with this. Have fun!

    I've been trying to play it on acoustic with no real luck - printed tabs from guitaretabs.com and it's not that easy for a beginner.

    i dont know if this one is any easier, but its the version i've been playing for years (credit for this specifc tab goes to mxtabs.net). It was one of my first songs to learn too, its got some basic chords and other chords made by lifting or adding a finger to those basic chords


    Edit: the tab got all screwed up when i copied it. But heres a link;
