Duran Duran - What Happens Tomorrow (2004)
Tuning: Standard
Here are the chords to the second single off the band's 2004 album, Astronaut. Pretty easy too.
Listen to any live version to get a clear idea how Andy Taylor plays it in real time.
Otherwise, this is easy to strum to on acoustic as well.

Not sure on the guitar solo during the later part of the song, though I'm sure it'd be
easy to do a simple rendition of by just listening to the song.
