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 E major pentatonic all the way.
