Listen to the song for the strumming pattern as it changes. Try to use the bar chords
for this as it sounds much better, if not then it still works with standard chords.I
believe the guitar does a D chord whilst the bass plays a riff through the verses (Again 
listen to the song to get this) The verses are played as followed:
