Tuning: Standard 

When I play these chords I really only play the four highest strings, like a  
drop 2 voicing. The root note on the A string is just so you can hear the  
tonality of the chord, and see how it's barred.

D#m7                      
If I was singin songs just to sing the songs 

Dm7 
If I was singin cause thats what the -----es wanted 

Fm7 
I couldn't play guitar like Van Halen 

Em7 
Had no secret chords like St. David 


And it pretty much carries on that way the whole time. The rhythm is hard to  
nail at first, it helps to play along with the recording. Here is the  
bassline/intro riff if you want that too.
