Play only the root on the first beat of each change: E (bar 1, Em), G (bar 2, G), A (bar 3, Am), B (bar 4, B). Keep counting through every bar that holds the same chord; the form resolves back to E.
When each chord arrives, land on its third and hold it for a beat: G over Em, B over G, C over Am, D# over B. Then repeat with the seventh (see the table) to hear how the line leads into the next chord.
