  This song isn't too hard to play, but it sounD pretty impressive once 
you've got it down.  I sort of learned to play the guitar on this song.
  I've written the chorD down according to the way Amy & Emily play the
song, as best as I can figure out from watching TV and stuff.  If you're
not quite up to playing D11's or four-fingered C's yet, you can play the
D11's as D(9) or even D, and you can play the C's as x32010, but it won't 
sound as good.
  I'd recommend learning the full C (332010) anyway if you don't already 
know it, because it's a nice chord to know; once you know it, sliding 
between it and D11 (554030) is really easy.
  On the full-measure C chorD, hammer-on and pull-off with your middle 
finger on the D string, so that the chord alternates between C and C(9).

  The song is actually in A, so capo at the 2nd fret.

  Here's the approximate tab for the introduction, and the part that 
you play through the first part of the verses (but when you actually
play it, it's hard to just hit the single note at the beginning of each
chord; usually you hit two or three strings):
