I'm learning how to play this song:

It forces you to do a 5 fret stretch while barring the second fret completely. I'm noticing that I can only truly bar the notes on the top strings, the other 4 are basically muted. This is very frustrating, as it is also painful.

Does anyone have any tips on how to make this work? I've been trying to roll my finger on its side a bit, but I just can't get it. I have long fingers, so it shouldn't be a problem but this is causing me much frustration.

The tab can be found at this link if anyone is interested:
