version 2
The bracketed part of the intro riff can be played as either version A or version
B. In the intro, it sounds more like A with the other instruments playing
alongside, but during the verses, it switches more to B. This isn't 100%, but
should be close enough to sound good, and you can play around with it a bit to
find what's most comfortable for you.

version 3
In this song there is 1 picking pattern and 4 strummed chords.
The picking pattern is played in the verses and interludes. Notice that
the pattern for the E and the C#m7 is excactly the same, as these are two
very similar chords. You can also just play the picking pattern as strummed
chords, those would be the first 3 chords I've added in the chord chart.
The strummed chords are played in the chorus and bridge. Those are the
next 4 chords in the chord chart.
Capo on 2nd fret
Picking Pattern:
E & C#m7 Dmaj9
