I just sat down and figured this out yesterday.  I'm not sure it's all right,
but here it goes.  There is one chord I am not sure what it is called, I think
it's an E6, That is how I will note it, it looks like this:E A D G B e
| | | o | |
|-|-|-|-|-|
| | o | | |
|-|-|-|-|-|

Play the D chord like the one Eddie Van Halen uses in 316. For those who
don't know it looks like this:
e------------------------------
B--------------3---------------
G--------------2---------------
D--------------4---------------
A------------------------------
E--------------X---------------

I think this sounds a lot better than just using a regular D chord.

Anyway, the above so-called E6 chord should also be used.  Here it
is again in the same format I used to tab the above chord:

e------------------------------
B------------------------------
G--------------1---------------
D--------------2---------------
A------------------------------
E------------------------------

The first part (the heavy part) just goes A, E6, A, E6, D
with the little peck: D------0-0-
A--0-2-----
E----------

Then: A      E6            D          E6
