In the chorus you play the same power chords, but not the figure. You just strum them. Listen to the record to get a sense of the strumming pattern.

Chorus 1:         A5   C5    A5   C5
                   
                  A5   C5    B5   D5

                  
                  A5   C5    A5   C5

                  A5   C5    B5   Bb5

                  A5   
                  C5    
                  A5    You should listen to the record on the last part.
                        It’s pretty easy and still the same power chords.
                  C5
                  A5   
                  C5    
                  A5
