The next section uses the same chord shapes, played in this kind of way 
(some of the live versions I've seen, and towards the end of the song, she doesn't play  
the lowest string on the middle strum)

G|---5-5--0-------------------------------------| 
D|---0-0--0-------------------------------------| 
A|---0-0--4-------------------------------------|

   Burn this name. When you lay me down 



Rest of the song goes pretty much the same, just with more strums, e.g.: 

e|--------------------------------------------------------------------| 
B|-5---5----0------0---0---1---------1---1---0-------0---0---5--------| 
G|-5---5----0------0---0---2---------2---2---0-------0---0---5--------| 
D|-0---0----0------0---0---0---------0---0---0-------0---0---0--------| 
A|-0---0----4------4---4---0---------0---0---2-------2---2---0--------| 
E|--------------------------------------------------------------------| 
    Lay me down    Lay me down      Lay me  down    Lay me down
