(repeat entire)
Sounds good with just one acoustic guitar- play the first time through
fairly softly. On the second go 'round, hammer the chords, maybe
sing an octave higher and with PASSION! Of course, if you're
lucky enough to be in a real band, then you can do it right...

If you listen close and watch live performances, I believe the chords
are E and Asus2 (not A).
E Asus2
e--0--I--0--I
B--0--I--0--I
G--1--I--2--I
D--2--I--2--I
A--2--I--0--I
E--0--I--0--I
Just a small note but I think it makes a big difference in the sound.
