We play the E7 with the high D note on the 5th fret of the A here, and on the low open D string in the intro,
because the guitar plays the E7 as 020100 in the intro and as 022130 at the end of the verse.

We add the G# on the 4th fret of the E string in there, because the rhythm guitar is playing bar chords.
The E bar chord is x7999x. The open chord 0221000 misses out on that G# on the 9th fret of the B ?? string.
As it`s very audible in the recording, we add it in for the mandolin, too.
