You bet bro.
it's a one finger deal on the 2nd and 3rd frets.
(the ongoing problem explaining things to people is that I don't know if you know the notes or play by ear with tab but I'll give it a shot)

Low string-E to F#(2nd fret) on the low E, bar the top notes (2nd fret)
Then on the low string E to G and hit the top 2 notes open (high E and B strings)
Then on the A string it's open A to C on the third fret,top two notes (bar 'em)on the 3rd fret
Then A to B on the a string(open to 2nd fret)Bar the top 2 on the 2nd fret
(or the top 3 strings on the 2nd fret) (They are 9th chords so whatever sounds right to you) If you are "fumble-fingers" and hit the top 3 strings barring the 2nd fret noone's gonna throw tomatoes at you,..this time.

I use my huge left thumb for the low E and A strings on that part.

You can use yer nose for that part but if you don't have the nasal callouses you can get much blood on the neck.

I was serious.
you better try. it's really easy, and makes you look like a super high-tech guitar player.
