You can use whatever type of chord you want to use- though using bar chords are a 
little more intermediate, I think it sounds better.
Start by playing A and D while he's whistling
    AWhen I was just a little bDoy
I threw away all of my aAction toys
While I became obseDssed with OperaAtioDn
    AWith hearts and minds and certain Dglands
you gotta learn to keep a Asteady hand
and thus began my mDorbid fascinAatioDn
  ETore the spines from out of all of these F#mself-help booksF#m  E  
Made myself a gun that not only F#mshoots but looks so rDeal
Yeah, it shoots through Esteel with rays of dark AmatterD  
       A        DRays of dark AmatteDr
It's really just the same through the rest of the song. It's an amazing song and 
easy to learn. I hope you have fun. d:)
