He throws in a high barre G chord (root on the 10th fret of A string) at the end of the first verse
also this little fill he does as he's transitioning from Em's to the next chord:
e -----------------------| B -----------------------| G -----------------------| D -----------------------| A -----------2-----------| E --0--2--3--------------|
That's about it. Listen to it to get all the timing down. A friend and I are working on the solo.....
comments, send 'em my way.
