Bar the lowest three strings on the 3rd fret and use your 3rd finger/ring finger for the
G string on the 5th fret. Use your 4th finger/pinky for the B string on the 6th fret.
Your 3rd and 4th fingers stay there the entire song.

Bar the lowest three strings on the 5th fret and keep your 3rd and 4th finger where they
were. You go back and forth between these chords at the beginning.

Then when the song switches to the second part of the intro you use the third chord
(doing all of this in a swing rhythm) to bridge into the fourth chord. You then go back and
forth between the fourth and second chords. Then to go back to the first chord you use
the second chord as a bridge between the fourth and first chords (again in a swing rhythm).
You should be able to figure out what chord's he uses in the verses, choruses, and
bridge by listening. It's just those four chords the entire song.
