in that case, worry less about getting your thumb in place and more about the fingers. the thumb in that case really just serves to add the root and a fuller low end to the sound of the chord. the accents will be what you want people to hear, they just might sound a little thin for a while.

i know he wrote the guitar part for the song and all but i can't get over the fact that he's forgetting a hammer on in the intro repeat. the only time he's actually using his thumb on the low E during fig.3 is for the A chord at the end of the passage. i always found the outro to be a little trickier to play than the verse to be honest.
