This song isn't too hard to play, but it sounds pretty impressive once
you've got it down. I sort of learned to play the guitar on this song.
I've written the chords down according to the way Amy & Emily play the
song, as best as I can figure out from watching TV and stuff. If you're
not quite up to playing D11's or four-fingered C's yet, you can play the
D11's as D(9) or even D, and you can play the C's as x32010, but it won't
sound as good.
I'd recommend learning the full C (332010) anyway if you don't already
know it, because it's a nice chord to know; once you know it, sliding
between it and D11 (554030) is really easy.
On the full-measure C chords, hammer-on and pull-off with your middle
finger on the D string, so that the chord alternates between C and C(9).
The song is actually in A, so capo at the 2nd fret.
Here's the approximate tab for the introduction, and the part that
you play through the first part of the verses (but when you actually
play it, it's hard to just hit the single note at the beginning of each
chord; usually you hit two or three strings):
G G6/A C(9) Dsus D D(9) D
E ----3---3-3-3-3-----3---3-3-3-3-|----3---3-3-3-3---2---0---2-2-2-|
B ----3---3-3-3-3-----3---3-3-3-3-|----3---3-3-3-3---3---3---3-3-3-|
G ----0---0-0-0-0-----0---0-0-0-0-|----0---0-0-0-2---2---2---2-2-2-|
D ----0---0-0-0-0-----2---2-2-2-2-|----2---2-2-2-0---0---0---0-0-0-|
A ----2---2-2-2-2-0---------------|3-------------------------------|
E 3-------------------------------|--------------------------------|

Each chord represents half of a measure, except the 'Ds,D,D9,D' thing, which
is half a measure total, and 'G - D', which is also half a measure total.
'D9' really means D(9), and 'Ds' is Dsus. 'n.c.' means 'no chord.'
CHORDS:
G = 320033 G6/A = x02033 C(9) = x32033 or x32030 or 330010
D = x00232 Dsus = x00233 D(9)= x00230
C = 332010 D11 = 554030
