I've learnt the song in open C, but i can't quite get the oom pah pah bit. There's a GP file and transposed it to open C, and the chords they have for that section are totally messed up. any help is appreciated, it niggles at me when i can't finish learning a song.

Isn't that song one of the few in standard E tuning?

I think it probably is, but I've gotten into the habit of learning things in C tuning now... I figured the chords out myself though, and have fixed all the stupid chord fingerings on the GP file when transposed to C (if anyone wants it). It's basically barres along 9th, 4th, 9th, 4th, 12th, 7th, 8th etc... Not ''spot on'' but beats changing my tuning right, and they're the same basic chords. I'm pretty dumb, yeah, and lazy not to have just figured it out myself :oops: . The awkward fingering it showed me just made me :|
