Comments:
1. The last E in the 2nd and the 3rd Choruses start
the Solo and the Outtro/Solo.
2. In the Chorus there's surely no A and F#m.
I think my variant is closer to the original.
3. Piano chords
Bass Chord
E (here) E b - e - g#
Esus4 (here) E b - e - a
4. Guitar chords
Esus4 F#sus4 F#sus4/7
e[0] e[x] e[0]
b[0] b[x] b[0]
g[2] g[x] g[4]
d[2] d[4] d[4]
a[2] a[4] a[4]
e[0] e[2] e[2]
5. By playing F#sus4 don't touch the high 'e' and 'b' strings.
In F#sus4/7 sound all strings. 'Special stress'
is laid on e and b strings.

P.S. How to play Homespun's Chorus on the piano:
1.
Use the following chord:
Bass Chord
F#sus4(7) F# f# - b - c# - e
2. F#sus4(7)
Play it in the end of the Verse (For example: '...anything else...')
and press the pedal to let it sound longer. Instead of F#sus4/7 chord
mentioned in the guitar transcription above play just the 'E' bass note,
while this F#sus4(7) sounds. This 'E' bass should be located HIGHER
then the 'F#' bass note of the F#sus4(7) chord.
*****
F#sus4(7)------(still sounds)--------------------
anything else
---------------------'E'-'E'-'E'--F#suus4(7)))---------------
Fire one more round
----------------------------------'E'--'E'-'''E'--F#sus4(7)--
But hate is not a lone assailant
----------------------------------'E'--'E'-'''E'--F#sus4(7)--
Hear the drummers pound
------------------------------ E Bm
Listen to the homespun violent sound
*****
3.
Let the pedal go up before 'refreshing' the F#sus4(7) chord and pressing
it
again.
