Beginners, you should be able to play this if you know the song pretty well. I would recommend just playing the notes, no chords, as in the tabs. Where 4 notes are shown on the 5th A string it, you can use 2 to get the rhythm down. Then, move to 3 notes and graduate to 4. Very fun song and it is great for both fretting and picking accuracy while trying to keep a clean rhythm going. Example of the Intro/Verse riff using chords: (Yes, I know this isn't how the song is played, but give it a try. I think you'll like it.)
