The Intro is:


F Bb5


e--------------------------------------


b-1-1---------------------3-3-3333-3-33


g-2-2---------0-----0-----3-3-3333-3-33


d-3-3-3p2p0-----0h2---0h2-1-1-1111-1-11


a-----------3--------------------------


e--------------------------------------


C5


e-----


b-----


g-5-5-


d-5-5-


a-3-3-


e-----


And when it goes into the verse this is repeated, and then played with a Gm chord instead of the Bb5 and C5.
