For the verses, you play the above chord progression with exactly the same rhythm.
The secret to making this refrain sound good is to strum in the correct pattern, and
to hit the chord changes correctly within that pattern. You do not hit every string,
especially on the Em chords - the bottom string or two should be very light or silent.

Chorus
C5 G5
Black bird, from the blue
G5 C5
I give my love to get used
C5 G5
High hawks come true
G5 C5
You give your love to get used
Note: when Matt plays this live, he uses a D chord in the refrain instead of
that second G, but honestly I think it sounds better with just the G5 and C5
chords.
Bridge
C D
Let's hang on to abandon
G C
Let's hope we lose control
Em D
To be out in the open, baby
G C
And let go of the ropes
C*
Nothing into nothing
