hard mutes before I hit the first A chord in the verse.

This is a 2 chord song, aside from the walking bass line.
A and Bbm is all you need. I've seen him play it live as well as listened to the previous version of the song.

Excellent job - thanks, and quite an improvement over version 1. You have the E chord in what seems the right places. I've also seen this song played live where two chord positions (A and Bm) disguise all the chords you have used to make it appear like a two chord song. I guess what counts is what sounds best to each listener or guitarist.

I agree with all above. Do as Chris did. take another persons song and make it your own. This is a great version, but I will take from it what I want along with all other renditions and do it my way..
