I've made a slightly-simplified version of the guitar chords for this song, to make it easier for students. Basically I've removed a lot of the "7"s from some of the chords. These are challenging on this song because the tempo is pretty high.
Remember a "shot" means to hit the chord hard and stop the strings right after.
The only dominant 7 chord I left in is the G7, because it just wouldn't sound the same without it. (G7: 320001)
