There's more lyrics - but this'll give you the basic chord structure.
The |'s are my attempt at giving a mild sense of rhythym - there's
4 beats between |'s. G/B means a G chord with a B in the bass.
I finger both the E/G# and the C#/E# chords in a open D chord shape
with the thumb wrapped around to the 6th string. Like this:

C#/E# The E/G# is the same thing played at the
--X-X------ 4th fret
T | | 1 | 2
-----------
| | | | 3 |
