BEGINNER TIPS:

If you’re having trouble with changing chords, try replacing D with Dsus4, Em with Em7 and C with Cadd9. The replacement chords are easier to press and don’t require much finger movement to change between each other, which makes it easier for you if you have trouble with chord changes. The original key of the song is F# so capo the 11th fret and use the chords below if you want to play in the same key as the original song.
