The chords below are shown, for simplicity, as if you were not playing the A bass note.
The bass note holds on the A (open A string) note through
the all of the chords during the intro and verses if you are fingerpicking.
If strumming, I would just play the 3 high strings throughout the verse.
A A A A
This song uses 4 different shapes for the A chord. I noted them as , *, ** and ***
Chord shapes used in the intro and verse are:
