Intro Solo G|-----0-2------------0--0---------------| D|-2-4------4-2-0-2-4------2-0-----0-2-4-| A|-----------------------------4-0-------| E|---------------------------------------| G|------------------------------------------------| D|-0-------0-2--2--------------0-----2---0--4-0-2-| A|---4-2-4--------4-2-1-----2----2-4---4----------| E|-----------------------2------------------------| G|-----0-2------------0--0-----------| D|-2-4------4-2-0-2-4------2-0-------| A|-----------------------------4--0--| E|-----------------------------------| Instead of stretching for the 5-th fret

@underlinezz: you can play it like that, but you'll find Timmy will play it with the 5 and it sounds a lot cleaner that way too without the ringing open string. Good alternative for those who struggle with it though!

verse : G|---------------| D|---9p7h9-7s/12-| A|---------------| E|-7-------------| just keep tyring til it sounds good. again, excellent job on the intro.
