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.

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.
