D: 000232 OR 557775
F#m: 244222
A: 002220 OR 577655
E: 0221000 OR 779967
G: 320033(320003) OR 355433
The F#m can be tricky if you can't do bar chords yet, and it's hard to find a good
replacement for it, however, it might be easier to do it at
-99(11)(11)(10)9- if you can.
If not, there's no real alternative than playing the song with a Capo on 2nd fret.
With capo, the chords are:
Bm = Am 002210
D = C 032010
F#m = Em 022000
A = 002220
E = D 000232
G = F 133211
