Cool interlude: This is the best part of the song...Stuart calls the D
an Asus4. His are good chords, but I think they are played up the neck.
Barre the A with your index finger. The D and A use the same barre -
don't move your index finger between A and D. The E is the same formation
as the D. Slide up to the E the first time. Neither E string is played
here. Also, the consecutive D's are damped, that is, let up on the left
hand pressure after hitting the chords. They also are slightly
off the beat - you'll just have to listen to the record.
