Try messing with the three chords from the song 
if you've got a mandolin; I think the intro's based on them. Here's the 
mandolin part at the end of the intro: 

G--0---------------------------------- 
D--0----0-5-0-5----0-5-0-5----0-5-0-5- 
A--2---------------------------------- 
E--3---------------------------------- 

[G]I saw her there [C]fade from a[G]far 
[G]Her hair gray char[C]coal 
Takes a [G]drag from her [D]tar. 
I [C]kissed her a [D]smile, 
but her [G]blood red shot [C]eyes 
Said "the [C]son never [D]shines on closed [G]doors." 

[G]It's been eight long [C]years since I [G]saw 
The [G]woman who's [C]labored 
Since the [G]day I was [D]born. 
Those [C]wrinkles now [D]face 
To that [G]cold dark damp [C]place, 
Where the [C]son never [D]shines on closed [G]doors. 

[Chorus] 
She said the [C]son never [D]shines on closed [G]doors 
I [C]open to [D]find only [G]hurricanes [D]blow. 
[C]Takes me [D]away, to the [G]green fields of [C]May, 
Because the [C]son never [D]shines on closed [G]doors. 

Death comes like a thief in the night 
To steal while you sleep, 
the soul's flickering light. 
Well maybe it's then, 
she said I'll see you again, 
Because the son never shines on closed doors. 

[Chorus] 

[Outro] 
And we [D]all go the [C]same way [G]home, 
yeah we [D]all go the [C]same way [G]home. [Repeat until end]
