the intruiging (?) part is that while the chord sequence might be eeeeddaa, the baseline goes to a when rythm guitar goes to d. so you might play a sus4 instead of d

The chords behind the riff are EADA.

Indeed the bass line is a key element. Easy trick, very effective but not very obvious. When you hear cover bands play satisfaction, most of the bassist just replicate the guitar riff, and it just doesn't sound right!

there is no difference in tone between 5 string 2nd fret and 6 string 7 fret, I dont hear it anyway, if not swollen fingers what else ?

There is a difference, but without a known for a fact reference of both on the same recording people most likely won't be able to tell which position the riff was played.
