It's worth noting that the recorded version is played in A minor, and the live version 
 in B minor. I have written out the chords, the chords in parentheses are optional, and would
suggest listening to the recorded track and timing the chord changes with the bassline 
depending on your arrangement, adjust the tempo and the rhythms.
