Trying to play 'Classico' tenacious D

Well I'm pretty new to the guitar and I was bored the other day and I just sat down and started having a stab at this and got right through the first bit and onto the second part. I'll show you,

Guitar I
E|-0--2--3--2--0----0--2-----------0----------------------------------------|
B|---------------4--------0--2--4-----3--1--0-------------------------------|
G|---------------------------------------------2--0-----0--2--4--2--0-------|
D|---------------------------------------------------4-----------------4--2-|
A|----------0----2-----------------------------0-----2--------2-------------|
E|-3--2--0----------------3--2-----0--2--0--3--------------------------2--0-|

Got this part all done.

Part II: Fur Elise by Beethoven

Guitar I
E|-7-6-7-6-7-----------------------------7-6-7-6-7--------------------------|
B|-----------7-10-8---------7-----7-8--------------7-10-8---------7---8-7---|
G|------------------9-----9-----8-------------------------9-----9---------9-|
D|----------------------9-------------------------------------9-------------|
A|--------------------7-------------------------------------7---------------|
E|----------------------------7--------7----------------------------7-------|

I get to where it starts in red, but how would i play that as it's done very quick. It's hard to explain but what I'm asking if what to do with my fingers? Do i place 4 different fingers on 4 different strings or would i bar across a fret as i'm only playing one string at a time? I hope this makes sense. Cheers.

Bar the 7th, pinky and ring for the other two is how I'd play it.

Heh, it's called learning, we're all doing it.

Yeh trying my best

Just listening to R.E.M - Half a world away and this sounds like it would be easy to do.

The first line looks a little like this.

Am G D Dsus4 D Dsus2 Em
This could be the saddest dusk I've ever seen

Would this mean that Dsus4 D Dsus2 Em would have to be very quickly hit together? Would I be able to play this with just the D for now until I am more confident so I can just get the main tune going on.

Cheers
