Here's the tab for the introduction section of the song before Andy starts singing. I'm
still a little sketchy about the last part as I feel as if I am missing a note or two
btu this is as close to the last part as I could get. If anyone else has figured out the
end section of the introduction before the audio feel free to e-mail or post
corrections in
the comments section =)If the tab is difficult to read please let me know. The first
line of the B string introduction is played twice before playing along the G string.
