Had to learn this for work, you just saved me, my rewind finger and my ear some valuable time.. Well done and thanks.. Great quality and very well done video.. Cheers..
Nice work! But, the 3rd chord in (the A) is played at the 5th fret. It's the E form of the chord (but without playing the low E or A strings) and is spelled, Root-3rd-5th-octave starting from the 7th fret of the D string. I used to think like you that the D chord form with the 3rd in the root at the 9th fret was correct, until I saw the original video. I think you'll find this new voicing sounds the same as the way it was originally played by the Romantics.
Its cool and sounds good, but its not how Mike Skill did it originally... also... he recorded it using a Tele! Seen him live too "up close" and the way he does it, is easier and sounds right. An The last two chords in that opening riff, he slides down to the open D and open A, just like in the versus. I'm just saying! For many years, Coz played it after Mike left the band and Coz didn't play it exactly right...
The tab is very hard to make out, but nicely played. One thing I noticed is that the f****ring/position you use for the 3rd chord (4th string eleventh fret, 3rd string 9th fret and 2nd string 10th fret) is a little harder to play than the way it's played in the Romantics video of this song (3rd string 6th fret, 2nd string 5th fret and 1st string 5th fret). Your way of playing it sounds better from a tonal point of view IMO :)

Here is a song that's ALWAYS been considered a simple, three chord ditty, but I could NEVER get that intro to sound right.
YOU nailed it, dude!!

The video makes the tab kinda blurry and hard to pull out.
