Intro:
I think the intro is played by two guitars, but it may be played
something like below. It is around the Am chord.
Each 3 notes and Am is repeated some times, with some small changes in
the Am chord (the "melody"). The chord is strummed a few times.
Bold notes should be emphasized.
-------0 -------0 -------3 -------1
-------1 -------1 -------1 -------1
-------2 -------2 -------2 -------2
-0-2---2 -0-2---2 -0-2---2 -0-2---2
-----0-0 -----0-0 -----0-0 -----0-0
-------- -------- -------- --------
After that, continue with:
-----0-------0---------0
-----1-------1---------1
-----2-------2---------2
-----0-------0---------2
-0-2-0---0-2-0---2-0---0
---------------------3--
