All Along the Watchtower - verse 1 and chorus

In today's practice, I was learning the first verse of the song. Throughout the verse and chorus, it is the same chords repeated (C#m, B, A), just sometimes played in a different way. At the verse, the chords are just simply strummed for one beat and a rest/mute for another, then after the A there is a hammer on to pull of which I pluck with my finger to get more of a harsh sounding staccato sound.
Then chorus is the same chords in the same time signature and positioning of chords and strums, but they are strummed twice for two beats, then an upstum/downstrum chuck/tassel is added on the offbeat after each chord.
I found the verse very easy straight away as it is just simply chord changes, all on the same route string (A string) so switching between chords was easy because I just had to slide down the fretboard with a couple minor finger position changes. However in the chorus, the addition of chucks/tassels took me a while to get used to because they are on the off beat so it threw me off a bit, and also made the chord changes quite hard because had to move my fingers completely to cover over all the strings.
