Topic: Pink Spiders: "Busy Signals"

A fun song:  http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lqT3b12LbqQ

I can't find the chords anywhere online, so I'm trying to work it out for myself.  I think I've got the chorus, but I can't get the verses right.

Each verse has a pattern which repeats four times, starting with the lyric "Woo-hoo" each time.

Put a capo on fret 2.

My guess for the verse pattern is:  Em - C - A - B7, but again, I don't think it's right.

Help on the verse pattern by someone with a better ear than mine would be appreciated.

Thanks,
'Nom

PS:  My guess at the chorus:  C - G - B7 - Em - C - G - B7 (twice).

Re: Pink Spiders: "Busy Signals"

Howdy, Nom,
Without a capo, I find:
Verse: F#minor (m),A D Bm

Then there's a C# for seven beats.

Chorus goes: D,A.C#,F#m
                  D,A,C#
                  D,A,C#,F#m
                  D,A,C#
Then this long thing F#M  and C#

A couple more choruses and that's about it.

Happy picking and grinning
