That is how it is played in the 
recording. I personally like to play
 the A chord in the
open position like this:

   A                F             

       G7               F

E|-----------------|--------------

E|---------|

E|------1---| 

This progression is repeated 
throughout most of the song. There 
is  little lead that
Continues after the ad
goes over this riff in some parts 
which goes like this:

  A                 F             

       G7               F

E|-----------------|--------------

D|--7--7---8---7---|---7h9---7----

E|-----------------|--------------

E|------|----------------|----------

G|------|----------------|----------
D|------|--7h9--------9--|--9b------
A|------|----------------|----------
E|------|----------------|----------

E|--------| 
B|-------.| 
G|--------| 
D|9b------| 
A|-------.| 
E|--------| 

Sometimes that lead may vary.

There is a break in the song where 
they are only playing the roots of 
the chord which
would go like so:
E|--5--5--5--5-|--1--1--1--1-|--3-

E|-3--3--3-|--1--1--1--1-| 

Towards the end of the song, the 
chords are just strummed:

  A                  A            

       G                  F
