It's a relatively simple part, however, the difficulty lies in the fact that some notes have to be played staccato (= short) throughout the song. So take note of the dots under the tabs to make it sound good. The strings are also slightly muted by the right-hand. Just let the leftside of your right handpalm slightly rest on the strings. Use downstrokes for the single notes and upstrokes for the double stops.
