B-E (barred seventh) B C#m A E
then thereafter just play
E B C#m A E for the rest of the main body of the song ad infinitum.
But BUT BUT a there’s a little pull-off hammer-on with the little finger (when form your C#m-A chords) which provides the (basically) optional transition note between these two chords, regardless of whether you're listening to the version by the Stone, Better Midler or Buckwheat Zydeco. This takes some listening to the record to figure out where this comes in. But basically, you go from E-A-C#m, but after you get to the C#m (formed as a barre at the fourth fret) and you’ve strummed it a few times, you pull off -- and then hammer on -– the little finger of your C#m chord when forming the C#m chord on the fourth string. Then you go into the A chord and strum it twice to finish off the rest of the measure.
So basically, for the main body of the song you're playiing:
E B C#m A
with all the rest of the little hooky extras on the B-E and C#m thrown in.
The chorus is chorded as follows:
C#m Am I hard enough? E Am I rough enough? C#m Am I rich enough? E I'm not too blind B To see-eeeeeee
