This is totally by ear and I encourage and welcome any corrections!
Intro: Start out with one strum of this D something (maybe a D2?)
chord. Then pick each
string, starting with the G string, and work your way upward. Listen to
the song to get
the rhythm correct.

Bridge:
I am guessing it's C to Am, but I may be wrong. Once again, try playing
a higher
fretted C and go to the Am on the 5th fret. Play total down-strokes
throughout
this bridge. Play in eighths.

Then at the end of the bridge, go to a G, and give it a powerful
and quick down-stroke 3 times. Like an eighth note going "1 and 2!"
