Chords used:
A (002220)
E (022100)
Eadd9? (022130)
Aadd? (577600)
Gadd? (355400)
Fadd? (133200)

To make this easier, I'll just call the last 3 chords up there A?,G?,and
F? and use p's for pauses.

(Intro)
Play this part 4 times. At the end, strum an open E chord instead of
playing the Eadd9.

Tehcnical stuff:
It may be easier (if your hands are big enough) to use your thumb
for the bass notes on the low string. Doing this gave me the idea that
if you don't play the bass note, all you have to do is slide an open E
chord back and forth, which is fine if you're playing in a band with a
bass. Have Fun :)!!
