E|--3p0----------|---------------|---------3---| B|------3p0------|---------------|-----3-----5-| G|----------2-0--|---------------|-2/4---4-----| D|---------------|-2p0-----------|-------------| A|---------------|-----2-1-0-----|-------------| E|---------------|-----------3b--|-------------|
etc. just pick the open E string twice, strum up on an open E chord, and play a lick. with a little sinceriy and a heckuva lotta tone, something as simple as this has sold lots of records. stepping down from my soapbox- the chorus is equally simple:
A E E|----------------------------------------------------------------0-| B|---------------2---2-------3----3-----5----5-----3----3---------0-| G|---------------2---2--------------------------------------------1-| D|---------------2---2-------4----4-----5----5-----4----4---------2-| A|---------------0---0-----0----0-0---0----0-0---0----0-0---------2-| E|---------------------------------------------------------3b-0-0-0-|
