In the meantime, here's some other chords to try on that song.
Hope you like them...

Should be:
-|-----------------x---x-----------------------------------------------
-|-----------------15--14-----------------------------------------------
-|-----------------14--14-----------------------------------------------
-|-----------------14--14--5--7--7--9--9*-7--7--9-----------------------
-|--5--7--7--9--7--xx--xx--5--5--5--5--5--5--5--5-----------------------
-|--5--5--5--5--5--xx--xx-----------------------------------------------
*This '9' is sometimes a '5' on the live version.
-|-----x---x-----------------------------------------------
-|----14--12---7---5---------------------------------------
-|----14--14---7---5---------------------------------------
-|----14--14---7---5---------------------------------------
-|----xx--xx----------5---7---7---9--9---10---10---9-------
-|----xx--xx----------5---5---5---5--5----5----5---5-------
The 'A' chord (you're playing the 1-5-8 version with no 3rd --
not major or minor) is actually two chords, a suspension that
resolves to the major -- played at the 12th fret (drag).
Once it gets to the break, there's the two chord da Daahh da Daahh
stuff... those chords are
------------------
------7-----------
------7------5h6-- (Do various riffs here)
------7------5----
---7--5---7--7----
---5--5---5--5----
The 5'th fret on the D string is a min 7 interval making the
major a dominant 7. The 5h6 is a hammer-on (gives it that
bluesy feel).
