I also noted the downstrokes with "d" and the upstrokes with "u", so you might
get a better idea of the actual rhythm (always annoying with those ascii tabs).
Progression A: In the intro and first verse I play the | G | C | Am | C D |
progression like this (note that I don't actually play a D but from the C I slide
into someting like a Dadd9add11, I like it but if you don't, just play a normal D):

Progression C: From now on they only play a (repeating) | G | C |
progression in the verse until they go into progression B. Here I basically
play the same as in progression A, but only the first two bars.
