Chords used: C-x3201x, Csus4-x3301, Csus2-x3001x, G-320033,
             G/B-x20033, Am-x02210, Em-022000

NB This becomes much easier to sing (for my voice anyway), if you play
it in Bb majorBb - the riff thingy works  in  G+G  too,  so you can play it in G+G
with a capo on the third fret. No I won't transpose all the chords for
you, you lazy swine...
Enjoy!
