The strumming patterns aren't shown. You shouldn't have too much hassle figuring them out.

For the Intro, sort of Vamp between the low E and the upper few strings
and every now and again do the slide up to the 13th fret on the G string.
Have a listen and try to figure it out.

   Intro     Verses   Chorus
   Emaj      E  D A   C(sus4)    G(G6)    D(sus4)   A7
E|-0-------|-0--2-1-|----------------------------------
B|-0-------|-0--3-1-|-5-6-6-5----8-8-8-8--7-8-8-7---10-
G|-1-(/13)-|-1--2-2-|-5-5-5-5----7-9-9-7--7-7-7-7---12-
D|-2-------|-2--0---|-5-5-5-5----9-9-9-9--7-7-7-7---11-
A|-2-------|-2------|-------------------------------12-
E|-0-------|-0------|----------------------------------

In the verses, skip the A for the lead in to the Chorus
Just use a Normal A (Standard Open Amaj) for 2nd Verse rather the higher version shown in the tab.
