I play it in D, though I think it might be capoed at the 2nd fret on the LP.
Intro revolves around a D to D/E (lift your 2nd finger to let the high E ring about 4 times) then a D/G (?) which I play by adding a G bass on top of the same D structure on the 1st & 2nd strings

50 52 40 52 (Bm) 50 63 (G)
50 52 40 52 (Bm) 50 60 (E)
(that's the little bass riff)
The Bm/A chord I play by fretting a Bm at 2nd fret, then lift off the barre and let the A and high E strings ring open.
that should get you there...where even Richard Nixon has got soul.
