These 'jazzy' chords utilise the open 1st and 2nd-strings which add
extensions to the basic chord. The ~ symbol has been used rather
than clutter the chart with elongated names.
A barre is not used - fingering is indicated.

The basic rhythm technique as heard in the INTRO:
For each chord...
1 pluck the 3rd 4th and 6th-strings with the thumb and fingers
+ brush the 1st and 2nd-strings with an upstroke
2 mute all the strings with a slap
Note that syncopation shifts the downbeat to 2+ and 4+
but the first F#m7 of the pattern is always on Beat-3.
In the SOLO the first two lines have no syncopation.

Slight variation in the cadence with a rhumba pattern:
VERSE:

1 + 2 + 3 + 4 + 1 + 2 + 3 + 4 e + a 1 + 2

D|-3-----3-----3---|-2-----1-----0h2--h2-|-2-----~~|
A|-----------------|-------2------h2--h2-|-------~~|
E|-3-----3-----3---|-2-------------------|-0-----~~|
The E-chord shape is formed on Beat-4
All fingers are hammered on but only the indicated strings are picked.

A commercially published arrangement of this song includes several
chords which are different from this interpretation.
The maj7 in place of dom7 in the bridge are particularly irksome.
Example: Bm7 A#maj7 Amaj7
It's A 2-5-1 progression: Bm7 E7 A
with A tritone substitution: Bm7 A#7 A
