Strumming
Tuning: E A D G B E
This seems to be played on an electric piano, but it was too beautiful to not transcribe for guitar.
Keep in mind, the meter is a bit tricky, as it is in a syncopated 3/4, with asymmetrical bar structures.
I won't notate all of that, so you'll have to listen to it to get the feel.
Here's a tip:
Play the A with just your pinky and ring finger on the D and G string,
so when you slide up to the open B, C#m, and E, it's a smoooth transition,
only needing to add your index finger as you go up from B all the way to the E, holding the same fingering.
Until the final chorus, the chords in the intro are the same cadence for its entirety.
