I've arranged the intro tablature for one guitar. You might find it easier
by holding down an Asus2 shape (x02200) with the middle and ring fingers,
and then adding the other notes with the index and little finger.
NOTE: The intro tabbed for 2 guitars is at the bottom of the page
CAPO: 4th fret (Will then sound in the original recorded key of C#m)
Chord names and fret positions are relative to the capo:
= x02210 = 020200 = x00033
= 320033 = 020100 = 133210 or xx3210
= 133211 = x32010
