A common Keith chord is like you see on the fourth chording in the
opening riff. It is like hammering on the same chord position you would
call in standard (concert) guitar tuning for A minor augmented.
For a C position chord, the hammer on would go:
D G D G B D D G D G B D
C-chord 5 5 5 5 5 5 hammer on F-chord 5 5 7 5 6 5
If you can do this, you can play Start Me Up, Brown Sugar, etc. etc.

After all is said and done
I better move while it's still fun
I better walk before they make me run
Watched the taillights fading, there ain't a dry eye in the house
They're laughing and singing
Started dancing and drifting as I left town
Gonna find my way to heaven, `cause I did my time in hell
I wasn't looking too good but I was feeling real well
After all is said and done
I better move I had my fun
I better walk before they make me run
After all is said and done
I better move, it's still fun
I better walk before they make me
I better walk before they make me
I better walk before they make me run
