The latter two measures repeat for pretty much the whole song.

Easiest way to play: fret Dsus2 with your first and third fingers (on
the 3rd and 2nd strings, respectively) and use your middle finger to
hit 4th-string E (for Asus4) and 6th-string G (for Gsus2). Then it's
all up to your picking hand...

Sound and Effects:
I use second position on my Strat (middle/bridge pick-ups) and a
clean Vox AC-30 sound with chorus and a little plate reverb.

That's about it. Corrections and comments welcomed.
