INTRO: Use your thumb to strum rapidly, but softly, up and down to create a tremulo 
effect. Slide your left hand between the chords for the intro. Sounds crazy, but I
prefer it without barring the chords.

Whilst strumming the E you might like to use your left hand thumb to play the low 
e-string (it kinda subsititutes for that bass/thump noise you can hear in the original recording).
VERSE: Play the "A" as the higher bar chord and, just before you transfer to the F#m, 
use your little finger to fret on and off the high e-string 7th fret (you'll work it out).
