Note: The G chord melody is played (a little awkwardly) like a normal G
but you have to shift your ring finger back a half step to do it.
Totally worth learning though.

And the chords...
[ Tab from: https://www.guitartabs.cc/tabs/m/my_bloody_valentine/when_you_sleep_crd_ver_2.html ]
G -320033
Asus2 -x02200
C -x32010
Em7 -020000
Bm -x24432

That's it.
