This song is surprisingly easy to play. The song is long, but
the chords are all very straightforward.
All the chords used are E MajorE C majorC G+G D MajorD and A minorAm
The most heavily used chords are E MajorE and C; most of the song is switching between the two.
Two different 'bridges' that branch out after "I'll crush him with everything I own^Å
E MajorE
Say what you want to say ^Å.G^Å.E^ÅC^ÅD^Å.G (then a quick series of switches between G+G and D MajorD)
Same thing starting at "Was all you were needing when you still believed in me^Å
E MajorE
Say what you want to say^Å.G^Å.E^Å..
Then when you get to the
We know who our enemies are^....
the A minorAm gets some play, and on into the Goldaline my dear^Å
I may be missing some chords or slightly off in some areas, but the song is extraordinarily simple and I don't believe there are any other embellishments, I hope that helped.
