The Easiest way to do the intro riff is by making an Emaj bar chord Intro: e----------------------| B-------9--------------| G-----9---9------------| D---9-------9-9--7-7---| A-7---------9-9--7-7---| E-----------7-7--5-5---| 2x In the actual song she uses continues to use the intro riff for the verses, but if you want an easier way you can use these chords instead: Verse 1: E B A E B A My friend the communist holds meetings in his RV. E B A E B A I can't afford his gas, so I'm stuck here watching TV. E B A E B A I don't have digital. I don't have diddlysquat. E B A E B A It's not having what you want. It's wanting what you've got.
