Tuning: Standard
 
This seems to be the first shot anyone has taken at tabbing this, so bear with me.
 
 
Intro: The base chords are E(Twice) and A(Twice) for picking.
       If you just want to strum, play E(Twice), D, then A.

      Intro Side Note: Having looked at a live version of this, it looks like he
      plays something that looks like a base chord of a D on the 3rd section of the
      intro. Haven't really figured out exactly what he's playing, because all the
      notes line up with an A, and it makes more sense and sounds better to hold an
      A there when you're actually picking it. Strumming sounds better with a D.
