CORRECTIONS/ALTERNATE PLAYING:
To my ear, the intro sounds more like:
1 2 3 4 1 2 3 4
e|-----------------|----------------|
B|0----------------|---------------0|
G|-----------------|----------------| D|0----------------|---------------0|
A|-----4---5---4---|2-0---0-2-0-----|
E|-2-2---2---2---2-|----4-------4-0-|
Also, the main riff after the intro, in my humble opinion,
stays on the "A" chord. To my ear, just the inside note
moves:
1 2 3 4 1 2 3 4
e|-----------------|----------------|
B|0----5-----5-----|5-----5--------0|
G|-----6-----4-----|7-----6---------| D|0----7-----7-----|7-----7--------0|
A|-0000--0000--0000|--0000----------|
E|-----------------|----------------|
let ring...
To me, this sounds more like what i hear on the radio. Play
it and see what you think.
