I'm trying to learn the Beatles song across the universe and it contains this chord which I am having much difficulty playing:

eadgbE
2x422

How do you strum that without playing the A string? Are you supposed to use your thumb on the low E string? Also, can anyone recommend a good fingering? I find it difficult to reach the 4th fret whilst keeping two fingers on the 2nd. Any help will be truly appreciated.
