The chords are pretty standard barre chords, just very high up the neck. Sounds most like how they play it the way I have written the chords, but play it however you want. The G* chord I have listed is the same as the G with your pinky fretting the 19th fret. I didn't write the whole chord because it's easier to play it with just those four strings. I only put the * to signify that little change to the chord. It is only used in the verses. Intro:
D G* D G*
D Hey Willy, hey Willy
G* You've got yourself a girl
D Hey Willy, hey Willy
G* Been lonely in this world
D You know, you know
G* You've got to treat her fine
D Hey Willy, hey Willy
G And love her all the time
G C Just take your teenage arms and your frightened lips
D G Go discover what you can't resist
