I play it in D, though i think it might be capoed at the 2nd fret on
the lp.

Intro revolves around a D MajorD to D/ED/E (lift your 2nd finger to let the high
E MajorE ring about 4 times) then a D/G (?) which i play by adding a G+G bass
on top of the same D MajorD structure on the 1st & 2nd strings

50 52 40 52 (B minorBm) 50 60 (E MajorE)

(that's the little bass riff)

The Bm/ABm/A chord i play by fretting a B minorBm at 2nd fret, then lift off
the barre and let the A augmentedA and high E MajorE strings ring open.

that should get you there...where even richard nixon has got soul.
