This is the way I play the intro.

D MajorD  Am7Am7  G+G D MajorD  |----------------------| D MajorD
         |----------------------|
         |----------------------|
         |--3p2p0---------------|
         |--------3p2p0-----0---|
         |--------------2h4-----|

I don't know how to write the riffs that are added
during the song.
Some are hammer on and pull offs on the 4th & 5th
string while strumming
the D MajorD chord.
