This is a great song by No Doubt off of their album 'Push and Shove' :)It's pretty easy too!
For the chorus, ("get in line and settle down"), you can just play an A chord over and
over, but it also sounds quite nice with the added chords. The same goes for the verse
("what's your twenty?"), you can play an A chord all the way through, but an F#m chord
can sounds nice if you can fit it in :)
The middle section (I'm a rough and tough, I'm a rough and tough,) sounds quite nice
picked, rather than strummed.
Also, it doesn't really matter, if you play D instead of Bm, they sound pretty much the
same anyway :)
A F#m
Get, Get, Get, in line and settle down,

Been around the block before, doesn't matter anymore,
A F#m
Here we go again, are you kidding me?
A F#m
Are you insane? Are you kidding me?
C#m E
Underneath the avalanche,
A E
so heavy again,
