G     (3|2|0|0|0|3)
A     (0|0|2|2|2|0)
To get it closer to the original, you have to play with the "A" a bit, 
work with a hammer on and pull off on the fifth string, changing from 2 to 0 
and other way around (... and continue similar with the following "D").
Even beginners will have sorted it out easily while listening to the song.
Another thing i try to make the sound a bit "richer" with is a variation of the 
transfer from the verse-ending "G" back to the "A". Let the "G" sound several
times but for the last time, slide to this here (2|0[or:x]|0|x|x|x).
