Here is the way I am playing the main intro.
The * indicates that the chords should be played quickly one finger after the other (thumb first).
The / shows that the you should slide to the next note.
Im quiet proud to play it on an old Martin guitar.
Hope that you will enjoy.
Main chords are D A Bm E.
