[INFO:]
You could play G7 as a G9, which you could play as x2323x instead of G7 as 353433,
especially in the first verse
For a lot of the quicker chords that make up the bass runs you could really just hit the 6th string
or 6 and 5 (power chord style)
(some of the very quick bass runs are in lower case letters in parens and I just play those notes)
The opening piano riff is a D7 augmented chord (#5).  I usually just play the opening this way:
