Okay, the song is really in the key of Bb, but with a capo in the 3rd fret, so you'll be
some G's and C's.
The intro progression is simply G with some hammer-ons..
I'll tab it out so that you might be able to see where the hammer-ons can be found.
(You'll be alternating the bass notes with the bottom chord formation.....)
D = downstroke
U = upstroke (sorry if the D's and U's are hard to follow. you'll get the hang of it)
(CAPO 3)
.........(D,u).......(D,u).......(D,u)........(u).....(u)

Now just repeat that strumming pattern for G whenever you hear it in the song.
Time knows your done
Time as you fall
I’m in the middle
Letter’s you’ve signed
........G
In your cursive, cursive style
Going down tonight
It’s different for Boys and Girls
I’ve got your number
I know who you are
.......G
Your a satellite on the world
And I feel it slowing
C.....................G
And I feel it slowing down
(X2)
You didn’t have the right
To go so many a mile
Ain’t a good woman who rolls out of sight
..........G
She could honestly stay a while
So roll on as you like
Yeah roll in the sand like a stone
I’ve got your number
I know who you were
...........G
You were a Satellite all alone
And I feel it slowing
C.....................G
And I feel it slowing down
(X4)
C............................G
And in the Satellite Rides a Star
(X3)

Spotted a wrong chord, or know a capo position that sounds closer to the record?
