Capo on fourth fret
this is the riff after many lines during the verses, I'm referring to it as X:
e|----------------------|
B|----------------------|
G|----------------------|
D|--0-0--2-2/4-2-0---0h2|
A|-----------------3----|
E|----------------------|
also, when switching chords often hit the bottom string at 0 and then hold to correct
such as:
Cadd9 G
e|--3-----3-----|
B|--3-----3-----|
G|--0-----0-----|
D|--2-----0-----|
A|--0h3---2-----|
E|--x-----0h3---|
