based on live performance. in performances, it looks like he has a capo on the 2nd fret, and playing it a semitone lower than the cd, but on the cd, he definitely goes down to open low E string, so i'm not sure the intro tab is played by the piano, every 2nd note sounds like it might be a delay effect. the tab in the last chorus, this is very low in the mix, the notes may be off.
