Chords for Seaside by The Kooks

Note: I like to strum two louder down strums for the first chord followed by a series of softer ups and downs for the second chord of each line verse. Listen to the song to hear what I mean. For the chorus, I strum a loud calypso D D U U D U pattern. The (Am) means two quick down strums. Again, listen to the song and you will know what it represents.
