This is easily the simplest song on Wild Mood Swings, but there's a bit more
to it than some people think. Specifically, I'm refering to the people on 
Babble who said that you just repeat one chord progression (Em G C Em Am G B) 
over and over--there are actually three different sequences, which I've  
lettered (a), (b), and (c) below. Each chord is held for one measure except 
the B and B7, which are held for two as indicated. The outlay of the song is 
on the right:

BASIC CHORD PROGRESSIONS                     |  INTRO:
(a)   Em | G  | C | Em | Am | G  | B  | B    |    (a) x2
(b)   C  | G  | C | Em | Am | G  | B  | B    |    (b) x2
(c)   C  | Em | G | Em | Am | Em | B7 | B7   |
                                             |  VERSES 1 and 2:
RHYTHM                                       |    (a) x2
X           Y                                |    (b) x1
/   / / / / /   / / / /                      |  
1 . 2 . 3 . 4 . 5 . 6 .                      |  CHORUS:  
                                             |    (c) x2

So that's basically it. In the live shows, Robert plays it on a 6-string
acoustic, while Simon uses a 12-string (there isn't any bass, as you probably
noticed). The only other thing to worry about is the variations. For some
chords, they split the measure by playing the basic chord for the first 3
beats (where it's marked "X" on the rhythm chart) and switching to an altered
chord on the last three (marked "Y"). Hope that makes some sense!

Notes 
- the GM7 chord can be played with an open E bass, like: 020032
