I'm having trouble figuring out this song.
Does anyone know what the chords are?
I'm also trying to figure out "Universal Mind Decoder".

While you are at it guys, why not post the information about this song here so that all may give the Universal Mind Decoder a whirl.

No problem Peter.The verse riff / chord changes are played on the first three strings with the D string open for a bass note .
The partial chords are just a D, C and D and G again .
The D is standard

The C is ;

-------------5-------------

2nd D -

The G is in the D chord shape
---7------------------------
---------8-----------------

so you play ....D -C -2ndD D-C-2nd D G-2nd D -C D-C-2ndD etc for the verse
when you enter the chorus ..you walk up the low E to the third fret and then play the G chord ... the rest will fall into place as those chous are standard chords.
That's what he sent me, it sounds pretty good.
Cheers!
