  			Possible chord shapes: 

 Amaj7(/E)     B6       C#m7      F#m9      E/G# 
e|---0---------4---------4---------4--------4--| 
B|---2---------4---------5---------2--------5--| 
G|---1---------4---------4---------2--------4--| 
D|---2---------4---------6---------2--------6--| 
A|---0---------2---------4---------4--------7--| 
E|--(0)--------x---------x---------2--------4--| 

Some of the specific chord shapes are probably inaccurate, but I think the basic chords  
are correct. 
In the studio recording of the song the 5th, 4th and 3rd strings are generally loudest -  
the high e string is barely audible.
