I'm trying to figure out the chords the guy is using in this acoustic cover of Our Lady Peace's song Naveed, and everything I try sounds wrong! I've tried searching the net for the tab, but they're all for the electric version. Any clues would be much appreciated.

ps. yes I am a complete novice when it comes to guitar playing - I'm sure they're very easy to work out if you've been playing a while, but I haven't picked up a guitar (until recently) for years!

    The intro is:

    A - G with an occasional Bb5 thrown in

    The verse is:

    A - G

    The pre-chorus (?) is:

    A - Em - G (he walks the low-E from an E to F# before the G-chord)

    The chorus moves fast...

    A - D - Em - G - Cadd9, then repeat the Em - G - Cadd9

    The turn-around at the end of the chorus is:

    Bbm - A - G - A (fast)

    Then hold a G before back into the verse.

    He uses an A - Asus4 pattern in the second verse to "spice up" the A-chord.

    The second verse and chorus are about the same, except he doesn't use the little metal turnaround after the chorus. Instead, there's maybe a bridge...

    G - Cadd9

    Then back into the chorus part:

    Em - G - Cadd9
    ...and if you don't like it, you can suck on an egg.
