Chorus
It looks a bit strange, but it's really just an
A augmentedA barre chord with the thumb on the bass note, and an 
A major 6A6
when using that pinky on the 7th fret.

And that's the gist of it, with some minor variation here and there.
The outro is basically just a slowed down intro, with some
embellishments round the E MajorE major chord.
