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 by clicking the button below! If there's enough demand I'll bump it toward the top of the list.

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 +
