From the way the intro is played, it seems like these are the fingerings he's using...

D: 557775
E: 779997  (Of course, since this is E, you can leave the E strings open sometimes)
A: x07650

Bass lead in: (E|-0---2---4...)

Verse: (Throughout the song, different little two-note pickings
are added to the ends of lines, just improvise using the fingerings
above and sometimes hammering up to fret 7 on the B string when on
the A chord)
