I wrote this song. This is a simplified chord version of how I play it. I acutally play two variations of the
A and the D chords on the 5th fret. If you want to learn how to play it that way, watch this video:

Otherwise it sounds fine like this.

It stays consistent through the song except for some palm muting during the verses
