This song is in 6/8 time. In the intro, Peter plays an Am chord. On beat four, he lifts up his finger on the second fret of the D string then hammers it right back on. Its an old trick but one of my favorites. He also does it on the Dm chord when it's played for a whole 6 beats - except of course, he lifts his finger off of the G string.
