Awesome tab, but I think in the intro there is are two notes missing. I play it like this: ::INTRO:: (in song is played on piano) E--------------------5-8-7-5---5--| B----5---8-6-5-5---6---------6----| G------6------6--7----------------| D--7------------------------------| A---------------------------------| e---------------------------------| x 6
