BUT, don't let that prevent you from doing the song...if you have to, fake your way through that: strum it with downstrokes, abbreviate the arpeggio. I bet you could come up with a way to fake it that sounds pretty good. In the background, work on improving that skill.

That's what I've been doing so far. I've found that it becomes remarkably easier to play if I only play the highest notes (the ones on the E-String for the first half and the notes on the B-String for the second half, then repeat) and just throw a modulation effect on top. I haven't figured out which one gives me the best results, but I really can't hear any actual difference between this and the full arpeggios when I'm playing it. Adding that Modulation Effect is just a bit hard without the right pedals though. Luckily, I get money in just two days, so I might just go check out some gear soon :)
