-I think this is an easier way to play the bass line:
-    A      C#m     D    C#               E      D       A
-E|--0----0--4------5----4--0----------0--0------2-------0--|

-G|--2----2--6------7----6--2----------2--1------2-------2--|
-D|--2----x--6------7----6--2----------0--2------0-------2--|
-A|--0----2--4------5----4--0----------0--2-----------4--0--|
-E|---------------------------------------0-----------------|
-The tricky fingering is avoided with a few more bar chords.
