Note: These are almost always played as power chords, e.g A as x022xx, D/A as x0023x, but there's no reason not to play around with them and add more notes in, so here's a list of some possible 'expanded' chords:

Also, the E power chord is sometimes 022xxx and sometimes xx245x, whichever is closer to the previous chord.

A: x02220
E: 022100
D: xx0232 or x00232 for a nice bass-y A
F#: 244222

This is called Aulon Raid
