Not sure if there are resonating effects or is it a 12 string guitar for the double
string-like sound.
I dismissed the possibility that it is 2 string played together on a normal 6 string
guitar because the first riff being played is definitely not the 1st string G and the
second string D together.
Sounds totally different and off pitch.
It is tuned down half a step. Yes, I tabbed this with it half step down.[though I
initially was too lazy to turn the knobs xP]

There's a pause in this 2nd bar after d Bass&treble G

Back to the 1st line, 2nd bar onwards and repeat.
Alternatively, with more confidence, cause I hear a sliding movement, this is how the
2nd line and the bars should end
(the pause in the 2nd bar over here after the bass and treble G still remains):

So, the intro is played once. Then twice over the verse before jumping into pre-chorus:
Em
And if you ever get lost on life's highway,
Bm7
Don't know where to go,
C
There's just one thing
D
That I want you to know~!!
Chorus:
C, D, G
I'll be here for you
Always here for you
Em Bm7
If you need a shoulder to cry on
C G
Someone to rely on
C, D, G
I'll be here for you.

Back to intro riff
So now you've got it...
Chorus as usual
Ending is the same Riff, slowed down to fade.
Enjoy guys,
God bless you ppl who read this and play this. ;)
Don't think my ex-girl would ever read this though I saw her at the hypermarket today.
Well, hopefully one day she does, dedicated to you Amanda.
