When you're playing the A chord, most of the timeyou should play
it like this:
A A* A A*
AE|--------------------------------------------|B|--2-2---2---3--3--3-2-3-2--2---2---3--3-2---|G|--2-2---2---2--2--2-2-2-2--2---2---2--2-2---|D|--2-2---2---4--4--4-2-4-2--2---2---4--4-2---|A|--0-0---0---0--0--0-0-0-0--0---0---0--0-0---|E|--------------------------------------------|
It's played like that in all the verses and the intro.The only
comfortable way to play this is to use yourindex finger to play the
A chord, then when you play theA* you can just hammer on the D and
B strings with yourmiddle and ring finger. Like Keith Richards
does.
When you see something like 'D (sus2)' it just meansplay the D
chord but throw in the Dsus2 a bit. A lotof times he plays A and
then throws in a Asus2 forinstance.
OK, then you should be ready to play the song.
