Tuning: Standard
When I play these chords I really only play the four highest strings, like a
drop 2 voicing. The root note on the A string is just so you can hear the
tonality of the chord, and see how it's barred.

I couldn't play guitar like Van Halen
Em7
Had no secret chords like St. David
And it pretty much carries on that way the whole time. The rhythm is hard to
nail at first, it helps to play along with the recording. Here is the
bassline/intro riff if you want that too.
