This is my interpretation of the Jaguars version (the best recorded). Its
probably not exactly right.

I use the bar chords, playing the Eb MajorEb at the 6th fret, the C minorCm at the 3rd fret,
the AbAb at the 4th fret and the Bb7Bb7 at the 6th fret. The bridge just moves the
same progression up 3 frets.

Intro
C minorCm        AbAb    Bb7Bb7

You can play this during the verses adding the Eb.
When you do this, each triplet gets two plays -

Eb MajorEb    C minorCm    AbAb    Bb7Bb7
_____________________________________
__8___8____4___4____4___4____6___6___
_8___8____5___5____5___5____7___7____
8___8____5___5____6___6____6___6_____

or, just play the chords. The same pattern repeats all through the song,
cycling evenly, 1 chord per bar, with one exception, noted.

(Bridge - notice the BbmBbm in place of the expected Db7Db7 (at the word, "nose"), and
the following 4 bars are different than the preceding pattern, the BbmBbm holding
over a 2nd bar)

(Verse 3 - some differences from the pattern on the ending. Work them out from
the record.)
