These are the chords that I play for Black.  Most of the chords are just
variations of major chords.  You gotta listen for the changes in the song
because otherwise you won't get the changes right.  This is the intro part,
also used for the verses.  You gotta also follow the strumming that he does.
I'm just going to write the chords that he is strumming on.

Just play that for the verse.  For the bridge there are only two chords.
The first chord is C, I like to play first position C.  Then the second chord
is Emin, I also play first position Emin with F# on the first string.

    C      C       Emin

:-------:------:-------:---2---:---- \
:---1---:--1---:-------:-------:----   \
:-------:------:-------:-------:----     \ AND REPEAT UNTIL CHORUS
:---2---:--2---:---2---:---2---:----     /
:---3---:--3---:---2---:---2---:----   /
:---3---:--3---:-------:-------:---- /

This is the Chorus.  And just repeats itself.  It is very simple, only three
chords: Emin, D and C.  I play these chords in first position also.  Although,
during the second chorus as it goes on you might notice that there is a slight
variation.  The only thing being done is that instead of going from  C back up
to Emin he is going from C up to D, back down to C, then up to Emin.

    Emin      D         C
