On the intro I play a barred B and A chord, with index
and little finger. I mute the bass string with the top
of my index finger and the treble string with my little
finger. I find that if I play the full chord (ie: add
in the treble string) it doesn’t fit with the 5th
chords later on in the riff.

e:--x---x--------------------------------------------|
B:--4---2--------------------------------------------|
G:--4---2--------------------------------------------|
D:--4---2--------------------------------------------|
A:--2---0--------------------------------------------|
E:--x---x--------------------------------------------|

For the chorus I play E5 with my index finger only, and use my middle finger to
hammer on to the G, 3rd fret sixth string.
