I play it in D, though i think it might be capoed at the 2nd fret on
the lp.
Intro revolves around a D to D/E (lift your 2nd finger to let the high
E ring about 4 times) then a D/G (?) which i play by adding a G bass
on top of the same D structure on the 1st & 2nd strings

the barre and let the A and high E strings ring open.
that should get you there...where even richard nixon has got soul.
