You can play this using the open G and C chords as
well, but it sounds like barre chords in the song
to me. Either way just follow this progression:
G G C G G G G C G G G G C G G G G G G G G
E|--3-3--3--3-3-3-3--3--3-3-3-3--3--3-3-3-3-3-3-3-3--|

Notes with a "+" under them mean that they are very
staccato (short and not accented) so if you can't
play this piece as fast as Chris, exclude these notes.
