 In the meantime, here's some other chords to try on that song.
 
 Hope you like them...

 Should be:

 -|-----------------15--14-----------------------------------------------
 -|-----------------14--14-----------------------------------------------
 -|-----------------14--14--5--7--7--9--9*-7--7--9-----------------------
 -|--5--7--7--9--7--xx--xx--5--5--5--5--5--5--5--5-----------------------
 -|--5--5--5--5--5--xx--xx-----------------------------------------------
 

 
 
 *This '9' is sometimes a '5' on the live version.

 -|-----x---x-----------------------------------------------
 -|----14--12---7---5---------------------------------------
 -|----14--14---7---5---------------------------------------
 -|----14--14---7---5---------------------------------------
 -|----xx--xx----------5---7---7---9--9---10---10---9-------
 -|----xx--xx----------5---5---5---5--5----5----5---5-------
 

 
 
 The 'A' chord (you're playing the 1-5-8 version with no 3rd --
 
 not major or minor) is actually two chords, a suspension that
 
 resolves to the major -- played at the 12th fret (drag).
 
 
 Once it gets to the break, there's the two chord da Daahh da Daahh
 
 stuff... those chords are

 ------------------
 ------7-----------
 ------7------5h6-- (Do various riffs here)
 ------7------5----
 ---7--5---7--7----
 ---5--5---5--5----
 

 
 
 The 5'th fret on the D string is a min 7 interval making the
 
 major a dominant 7. The 5h6 is a hammer-on (gives it that
 
 bluesy feel).
