NOTES:
The electric guitar, in the verses, plays the chords in a sort of
military beat, which I've shown in Guitar Figure 1.
But, you could find your own strumming pattern to suit you.

The Bridges appear in a three places, so probably aren't Bridges, in the
strictest sense. Not sure what else you would call them, though...

Timing is 4/4.

VERSE1:
Notes:
That F#m is what the electric guitar seems to play - it's a very nice
transition to the G. If you don't like barrés, you could skip it, though. 
However, my advice would be: practise your barrés and keep it in!
