Tuning: EADGBe (Standard)
I wasn't able to determine the rest of the guitar part, so I settled with the intro riff
the chords. Enjoy. There are, obviously, alternate places on the neck where the riff
be played, by I find this easiest because you can bar across the top two strings on the
fret and use your third and fourth fingers on the rest of the notes. I'm not
sure of the lyrics either.
