As always, these chords are my own interpretation and in no way should
reflect the genius of The Wonder Stuff . . . any similarity is just cool.
(I'm especially unsure of the chords in the intro and outro.)

The A riff can also be played barred as:

e- - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - 
B- - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - -
G- - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - -

E- - 5- - - - -5 - - - -- - - - -
