Hola! These are the basic chords for Black Rebel Motorcycle Club´s song "Salvation" from
their first album "B.R.M.C.".

Here are the lyrics for the first verse with the chords just to give you an idea of the rhythm:
A------A1---D-----D1------A------
So Jesus left you lonely
A------A1---------D---------D1-----A---
Feels like nothing's really holy
A-----A1------D------D1--------A-------
No one no one hears your calling
A-----A1-------D----D1-------A---------
Falling everything is falling
