Whichever chords you choose to play I encourage you to get creative with the hammer ons
and pull offs within
the notes of the chord, as this is what the band does within the song. It's why the
first set of "original"
chords has more placements on the fretboard. The pinky, ring, and middle finger are
mostly used to do this.
Remember you are staying within the shape of the chord, so for C/G it would be 030 using
your pinky at the
root note of the chord.
The lead guitar does a major F chord (bar chord), A minor chord and a C major chord, in
that order.
