Chords used:   John    Michael  Alternatively
            E- 022100  022xxx
            A- x02200  577xxx
            B- x2440x  799xxx
         B/D#- x69xxx  x69xxx   x6444x

          F#m- 2442xx  244xxx   244222

On the album, John strums along (in  the left channel, clean) with the
chords shown  above,  whilst  Michael  (in  the  right  channel,  with
distortion), aside  from  the links between the verses and fills shown
below, plays mostly  power   chords  as  shown  above. The alternative
chords are fuller chords that you can use if playing it by yourself.
Note also that Michael's  part  on  the  first  and  third line of the
chorus goes like this:
  + + + +   + + + +   + + + +   + + + +
|----0---0|----0----|----0---0|----0----|
|------0--|--0---0--|------0--|--0---0--|
|---------|---------|-2-------|---------|
|-2-------|---------|-2-------|---------|
|-2-------|---------|-0-------|---------|
|-0-------|---------|---------|---------|

If you want to improvise your own  links  and fills you will note that
Michael uses Chord diagramE MajorE major pentatonic all the way.
