Notes: The fingering for this song is pretty simple, and VERY repetitive. Use your middle finger for the root notes and your index finger for the 3rds, and use your pinky for 2nds and 5ths. For example,

e---------------|              e---------------|
b---------------|              b---------------|
g---------------|              g---------------|
d-2---5---2-5---| is fingered: d-i---p---i-p---|
a-3-5-3-5-3-3-5-|              a-m-p-m-p-m-m-p-|
E---------------|              E---------------|

It's a real work-out for your pinky, and a very tough stretch during the minor "chords" (the intro/second measure of the verse, and the first/fourth measure of the chorus). But practice makes perfect, and it's a lot of fun to play once you get it down.
