i have figured these out , however i’m not 100% sure on the proper name
of some of the chords , although i think i’m close . it’s definitely the
right version as far as i can tell – and it’s really not as hard to
play as it looks!

in the chorus play D , then strike the open E string and play D again ,
then strike the top – string pressing F# ( 2nd fret ) and play D again ,
then strike the top – string pressing G ( 3rd fret ) and play G .
