Hello, could someone please help me with the chords in this?

Haha, I'm terrible at figuring basic things like this out - it's embarrassing. I'm a teacher and our head has asked can I learn this on guitar so the children can sing it instead of to a backing track! Could anyone tell me what chords are being played? I keep thinking I'm nearly there but it's still not right.

 

Thanks, I'm sure it would take anyone with the slightest musical ear less than 4 seconds.

I don't have a guitar in front of me (which is odd as I'm in a guitar workshop) but it sounds like:

Intro/Verse thing: G -> C
Then Em -> D -> G for the 'We've got rights' chorus bit. Sometimes going Em -> D -> Em.
The bridge sounds like Am -> Bm, then back to the Em -> D -> G chorus (also sometimes Em D Em)

When I go back in the house I will have a proper look.

viz

Verse....  / We've got rights ...................../ We've ...
G G G G / C (over E sometimes) D em / C D G. 

Verse .... / We've.../ We've ...
G G C G / C D em / C D G.

Gotta know your name.... / We've ... / We've
D G D G                                   / C D em  / C D G. 

Etc
