Tuning: Standard (EADGBe)

Capo 1

| () fretted note
| *  harmonic
| .  palm-mute
| ~  let ring

I tabbed out the rhythm for the most part, but as a rule just feel it out

[Intro] Played with harmonics. (5)17* means you would hold down the 5th fret with your
left hand and then use your right pointer finger to hold over the 17th fret, using some
other finger on your right hand to pluck the string somewhere above the 17th fret, say 
the 18th fret or so--hence making the sound of the harmonic. Give it a shot. ;) You
shouldn't have to move your left hand too much on the intro, it's mostly just in the 
shape of a G barre chord.

If you don't want to use harmonics, look at the end of the song for how it's played
without them.
