The verse has a neat lick leading into the Dm and C chords, respectively:
DmCE|-----------1--| e|-----------0--
B|-----------3--| b|-----------1--
G|-----------2--| g|-----------0--
D|-----------0--| d|-----------2--
A|--0--3--0-----| a|--0--3--0--3--
E|3-------------| e|3-------------
There are a lot of variations on the lick, though, go nuts!
