*p = pull off h = hammer on **First Tab...found the chords, made the actual intro tab. I always listen to George, so I'm pretty sure it's right, just listen to the song for the rhythms and minor changes in chord locations. Here is a link to it: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9nPwiIOUpZs . Thanks! ***The intro isn't in the beginning of the link above, but you can hear it at 0:56 seconds. Listen close, it is pretty STRAIT forward.
