Were Going To Be Friends Chords

   
This song is a little different... i dont care for the white stripes but i love this song.
so... i dont know what to expect from them really. here it is, have at it.

Here's an idea of how to pick the chords:

           G            C             D             A           Cadd9
     |-----------| |-------0--| |----2------| |-----------| |-----------|
     |----0------| |---1------| |--------3--| |----2------| |----3------|
     |--------0--| |-----0----| |-----------| |--------2--| |--------0--|
     |-----------| |----------| |--0---0----| |--2--------| |------2----|
     |-----------| |-3--------| |-----------| |------0----| |--3--------|
     |--3---3----| |----------| |-----------| |-----------| |-----------|

(last G chord on 4th verse and picked the same way for the rest of song):
                                      G
                                |-----------|
                                |----3------|
                                |--------0--|
                                |-----------|
                                |-----------|
                                |--3---3----|
