"race for the prize"
here are the chords used:
Fmaj7 Em7 F/C Cmaj7 G F C
e|---0-------x------x------x------3------1------0-|
B|---1-------3------1------0------3------1------1-|
G|---2-------0------2------0------0------2------0-|

A|---3-------2------3------3------2------3------3-|
E|---x------(0)-----x------x------3------1------x-|
N.B it's important to dampen the strings not being used in the intro to really emphasise the
walking down bass pattern of E D C B (the E in Fmaj7, the D in Em7, the C in C/F and the
B in Cmaj7) so keep the chords really tight and it'll sound great. The open E string on the
Em7 chord is optional, but i think it makes the chord sound "dirty".
