This song’s actually played on a bass, so in reality most of the ‘chords’ are actually single  
notes. But you can get a reasonably similar sound by just busting out the good ol’ power chord  
(i.e. root and fifth, no third). So when you read E in this chord chart, play E5. 

Two bars of E with a D hammer-on for the intro and main riff – to get the rhythm, just listen to 
the record to figure it out (ba dum ching!)

Nothing here to see, just a kid like me 

Trying to cuss and see, trying to figure it out 
A                 G                     F#   
Nothin’ better to do, when I'm stuck on you 
               F                         E  
And still I'm here, trying to figure it out

And still I'm here, trying to figure it out
