-------------------------------
SOME QUICK NOTES
--> The INTRO section is hard to explain regarding its tempo. If you listen to the song you should understand it. 

Basically you can practice it as two eighth notes and one quarter. Try that out and see how it works for you. 

--> You can throw in a small slide at the beginning of the bridge by instead playing the following on the E string:
D |-3/5~~~---4~~~---2~~~---1~~~---|

--> For the half-chorus at the start of the outro, you can remove the slides if you wish. Also, the 5s and 3s are played 

in a xxxx xxx sort of pattern.

--> And as a final note, this is the way that I play this song. I don't believe it's entirely correct, but I like the way 

that this sounds.
