CORRECTION:
If you start at open E and slide up to the B on the the 8th and 9th frets for the intro, breaks and chorus it sounds way better than using the E chord on the 9th fret like I have listed above.

Try this for the intro/chorus:
The E is close, but he's actually dropping the root note off the chord and using the open low-E for the bass note:
[tab]
e|--0--
B|--0--
G|--9--
D|--9--
A|--x--
E|--0--
[/tab]
Keep in mind that he's playing a 12-string acoustic. This means that, by playing the low-E open, the string that it's paired up with (which is tuned an octave higher) gives you that middle-E that you're losing by muting the A string instead of playing the 7th fret. If you're playing it on a 6-string, it might sound better as a whole chord, but you're sacrificing mobility for the next lick (which is fine, if you have the skill to stretch and make it still sound natural)
Where you have a B chord written in the intro is actually a little lick that goes like this:
[tab]
e|--0-----0----
B|--0-----0----
G|--9h11--11p9-
D|--9-----9----
A|--x-----x----
E|--x-----x----
[/tab]
Yes, he does mute the root note of the chord. I'm not going to tab out the strumming rhythm, but I think you can get the idea.
Where you have the A chord in the intro, it's actually played like this:
[tab]
e|--0--
B|--0--
G|--9--
D|--9--
A|--0--
E|--x--
[/tab]
Basically an E/A. After that, play the little lick written above for the B chord (and yes, mute both the low-E and the A strings again!) And there you have it! By the way, your tab does sound really good--keep up the great work!

Good Job Cody! Your effort is appreciated.
