version 4
For the intro riff I just pick it in C,
starting with the high G note on the e string alternating with the C note
on the b string and continue that pattern going down the scale. Improvements/Suggestions
welcome,
I just wrote this out in the last five minutes since
there wasn’t a chord sheet up for it already.

version 6
Tuning: CADGCE
This is just to show you how Drew did all those cool tricks at the beginning of the song!
Use lots of reverb with some delay and overdrive. Let everything ring out a lot so
it gets that atmospheric kind of sound.
