INTRO: First slowly strum out a G7#9 with this shape: EADGBE 355466 This may look like an impossibility, like a cruel, unusual and unplayable chord, but it can be done. You must use the power of the force. First you use your ring (3rd) finger to cover BOTH the 4th and 5th strings on the 5th fret (straight down on the fingertip, not barred), and next you use the baby finger to barr both the 1st and 2nd strings on the 6th fret. Of course your index finger is on the 6th string, 3rd fret, and your middle finger is on the 3rd string, 4th fret. Once you've let it ring for a few seconds you quickly play Eb/Ab and F/G* (shapes shown below) as the last two beats of a lead-in bar, and you're into the intro, which is a guitar solo over: | | | | Cm C4 Cm F/G ** G7 | | | | Fm7 Gm7 Ab7M Bb C4 C4 Eb/Ab F/G * | | | | Cm C4 Cm F/G ** G7 | | | | Fm7 Gm7 Ab7M Bb C4 Cm Cm Gm7/C Vs.
