Kind of hard to pinpoint. If worse comes to worse, just play the chord patterns with the song (D A GG Bm A DD) and worry about the words later. I put the approximate times that the chord is supposed to be played for each verse and segment of the song. In the third verse, first line, there are two A's played (listen closely). If you see a mistake, go ahead and correct it. Overall, the chords should be right. This is a great song by VU (my 2nd favorite). I spent a lot of time trying to get chords as close as possible. Enjoy it.
