Print-friendly Song Sheet
This is one of my few lessons that doesn't have a printable song sheet / PDF available. If you'd like to request I make one, let me know... it's always great to hear which lessons have the most interest.

How to learn the intro tab
Start off by realizing you have these two chord shapes:
E ––2–––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––2––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––
B ––3–––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––3––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––
G ––0–––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––2––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––
D –––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––
A –––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––
E –––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––
1 + 2 + 3 + 4 + 1 + 2 + 3 + 4 + 1 + 2 + 3 + 4 + 1 + 2 + 3 + 4 +
D/G D/A
Then add arpeggios based off these shapes:
E ––––––2–––––––2–––––––2–––––––2–––––––2–––––––2–––––––2–––––––2––––
B ––––3–––––––3–––––––3–––––––3–––––––3–––––––3–––––––3–––––––3––––––
G ––0–––––––0–––––––0–––––––0–––––––2–––––––2–––––––2–––––––2––––––––
D –––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––
A –––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––
E –––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––
1 + 2 + 3 + 4 + 1 + 2 + 3 + 4 + 1 + 2 + 3 + 4 + 1 + 2 + 3 + 4 +
D/G D/A
Then, add the important note on the high-E string (played with the first and third arpeggio for each chord):
E ––2–––2–––––––2–––2–––2–––––––2–––2–––2–––––––2–––2–––2–––––––2––––
B ––––3–––––––3–––––––3–––––––3–––––––3–––––––3–––––––3–––––––3––––––
G ––0–––––––0–––––––0–––––––0–––––––2–––––––2–––––––2–––––––2––––––––
D –––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––
A –––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––
E –––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––
1 + 2 + 3 + 4 + 1 + 2 + 3 + 4 + 1 + 2 + 3 + 4 + 1 + 2 + 3 + 4 +
