final chord sounds like B7 ?
btw my take on the little bit at the beginning/end is:
e|-----------------------|
B|-----------------------|
G|-----------9-----------|
D|-----------9-----------|
A|----5/11------11--9----|
E|-----------------------|

on the last repetition of this verse riff use FILL 2 from below after the
F# bass note to move back to verse riff 1...
some examples of fills that can replace the G# chord

so just fuck around with those, and any others are just variations on that anyhow...
then the fun part... the CHORUS...
----0~--0-0-----0~---0---0---0----2---2-2-----2---2---2---2-

A much easier version of the chorus can be played, like Jack does it when he plays live..

then just descending major bar chords with the root on the 6th string
(ie the E shape)
CHORD: B / G# / F# / E x3
FRET: 7 4 2 0
then
CHORD: B / G# / G ~~~
FRET: 7 4 3 and hold
in case you don't know the terms above the shape for the B (7th fret) is
e|-7-|
b|-7-| So just start with that, then move it down to the 4th fret etc.
g|-8-|
d|-9-|
a|-9-|
E|-7-|
She's got it all figured out
She knows what everything's about
And when anybody doubts her
Or sings songs without her
She's just so mmm
She knows the world is just her stage
And so she'll never misbehave
She gives thanks for what they gave her
Man, they practically made her
Into a mmm
She's the one that stumbles when she talks about
The seven foreign films that she's checked out
Such a fortunate fool
She's just too good to be true
She's such a fortunate fool
She's just so mmm
She's got it all figured out
She knows what everything's about
And when anybody doubts her
Or sings songs about her
She's just so mmm
She's the one that stumbles when she talks about it
So maybe we shouldn't talk about
Such a fortunate fool
She's just too good to be true
She's such a fortunate fool
She's just so mmm
