Bridge (uses same chords as first half of verse)

 

Note: in recording, I used a capo for the following parts, using chord patterns above, with capo on 2nd fret.

 

If you can play the chords below, modulate abruptly to E using B chord just beforeVerse 2 then chords shown below.  Otherwise don't modulate, but use the chords for the verse and chorus, or use a capo.
