Pre-chorus
----------(D  Dsus4  D  Dsus4
**similar
  to the beginning
of the song)
A7                                     D [quickly:D Dsus2 D Dsus4 D Dsus2 D]
   Me and my soul, we know where we're going

Chorus
------
D          E             G            Asus4 A    Asus2 A  D
Take me away, just for today, 'cos I'm sad  here on    my own,
            E             G           Asus4 A   Asus2 A  D
I'd like to be, under the sea, but I'd prob-bly need  a phone

[NOTE: chorus could also simply be played D  E  G  A  D  E  G  A  D]
(It probably could but it won't sound like the song.)

Musical Interlude  **(actually uses the same chords and strum pattern
     as the verses)
-----------------
D  Dsus4  D     Dmaj7  Dsus2  Dmaj7      D7  D7sus4  D7     G

[NOTE: listen to the song to hear the r(h)ythm of the above part]

**(I do not know if the version I have is the same as the one he is
talking about.  It is from the "Supersonic" single but it is not a
bootleg.)
[ANOTHER NOTE: this musical interlude is played as written above only on
this unplugged Oasis bootleg I have, not on the recorded version. Try it,
though. It sounds pretty cool.]

Repeat Verse 1, play the lead-in to the pre-chorus just like after Verse
2 earlier in the song

Pre-chorus     **(changes still apply)
