version 4
Tuning:E A D G B E
Key:G
Capo:7th fret
This is just the intro, but there are two guitars so I've chosen what sounds
like is the main melody from the
intro.
[Intro]
e|------------0-3---1p0---------------------------------3-------|
B|--------0h1-----------3p1-----------------1-3-1--3/5----------|
G|------0--------------------4-2-0---0-0h2----------------------|
D|--------------------------------------------------------------|
A|--------------------------------------------------------------|
E|--3-----------------------------------------------------------|
After the intro I can't tell which guitar is doing what part since this is my
first time tabbing something
but I just play a fingerstyle of the chords.
