And as the Emearth burns B7to the G/Dground
Oh, gA/C#irl, it's..

Here are some extra details that I like to add to it,
but they are just my interpretations/ad libs and by no means essential
- it'll sound fine with just the chords.

For the chorus rhythm, you can also hit a root note of each chord between strums
so it builds it and fills it out a bit more.
Something like this;
