The chords to this are essentially just E and C#, however the chorus works better with an Eminor from the 7th fret. I recommend playing the full chords, not power chords, if playing this acoustically. Also, when this song gets going, try playing A7 B7 (Johnny Cash style), instead of the C-it's a nice modification.
