The verse part is the same as the intro, I think, but the bass plays
A D# then D (as well as a B in there somewhere), and that D was throwing
me off. Part I is played going from the intro to the verse, and it's
played a few times later as well. Part IV is played over the verse as
well.
The chorus goes C G# G I, then back into the verse.
In the organ (theremin? I'm not a longtime Supergrass fan, so I'm not
sure) solo bit (II, above, transcribed for guitar), the guitar
is probably playing a chord under it (very lightly, it is very
hard to hear under the organ and bass), and I think that chord is D#.
But you can't really hear it, so it doesn't really matter that much.
In the segue back from the solo, III is played (perhaps with hammer-ons
and pull-offs), then IV is played several times, and after a while it
gets altered slightly and is played with a wah wah pedal or something.
During all this, the normal Am D# progression comes in. The song ends
with III fading out.
