  Okay,so your guitar is actually supposed to be tuned
  to an open E for this song. Well if you are like me,
  you don't really wanna mess with such a weird
  tuning just to play one song, so I listened to the 
  song and wondered why they bothered to tune weird
  when it's just as easy to play it like this:





  INTRO with phaser(I think) (or maybe a flange?)

 If you think this looks wrong just put the guitar 
 down and "read" along while listening to song and 
 you'll see how it matches up.(that's what I always
 do before tackling a new song)
