All chords should be played as bar-chords, except E and Dm.
The transition from E to F#m goes over Fm, so it's basicaly
E E E Fm F#m
e|---0---------------2-------------------------------------------------------|
B|---0---------------2-------------------------------------------------------|
G|---1---------------2-------------------------------------------------------|
D|---2-----2-----3---4-------------------------------------------------------|
A|---2---2-----3-----4-------------------------------------------------------|
E|-0-x-0-----1-----2-2-------------------------------------------------------|
The song switches beautifully between blues style picking and
mostly-downwards-strumming, but it's rather easy to figure it out by listening to the song.
And there's also a little transition from E to A after the chorus which i can't figure
out, but letting the E ring sounds good too.
