The intro will take time, keep at it.
What I noticed in the verse was that your time was good, but metronomic. The tune has a bounce to it that you can't achieve by playing "straight" (though you gotta get it straight before you can play with it-- but it sounds like you got it "straight")
Try listening to the record and tap out the rhythm on your knees or a table along with it. You'll feel that "swing" to it. Then you can try on the guitar-- that second down strum will be more powerful. The down up strums,, the downs will be a little louder and the ups a little quicker..
And that too will take time, but the journey is the destination.
