As you can see from the chord chart above, this song uses 5 main chords: G, C, D, Bm, and Em. The diagrams below show how to play each of these chords:

Play each chord with the right hand, and play a single note with the left hand. (For example, when the right hand plays a G chord, the left hand should play a single note G. When the right hand plays a C chord, the left hand plays a C note, etc.)

For slash chords (for example, G/B), play the G chord in the right hand. In the left hand, play a single note B (instead of the G that we would normally play). For the slash chord G/D, play the G chord in the right hand and a single note D in the left hand.
