i don't actually know the name of the following chord, but this is how it'll be referred to for this tab.
Let me know if you know what it's called!
C1 C2
E|---0------0---
B|---1------1---
G|---0------0---
D|---2------0---
A|---0------0---
E|---3------3---
Just to try to simplify things, C1 will have hammer ons for the 4th string (listen to the song and listen for
it, hard to miss) and C2 will just be strumming the chord shown.
