TAB:

I've transcribed two versions of the intro: the first one is
probably more accurate, the second is probably easier.  When I
play it, I play the G(9) the easy way and the rest the hard way.

accurate:

  G(9)             Em7              Am7     Bm       C
E --5-------------|----0-----------|----------------|------10--------|
B ----------------|---0------------|----5-------7---|---8--8---------|
G -7----7---------|--7-------7----0|--0-------0-----|--0-0-----------|
D 5---------------|-5--------5-----|----------------|----------------|
A ----------------|7---------7-----|----------------|----------------|
E ----------------|--------------0-|5-----5/7-----7/|8---------8-----|
  ^ . ^ . ^ . ^ .  ^ . ^ . ^ . ^ .  ^ . ^ . ^ . ^ .  ^ . ^ . ^ . ^ .

easy:

  G(9)             Em7              Am7     Bm       C
E --5-------------|----0-----------|----0-------2---|---3--3---------|
B -3----3---------|--30------3-----|----------------|----------------|

Thanks for the chords, Laurent ... for those who are interested, here's
my tab for the intro and verses.  I've also made some minor corrections
to a couple of chords as pointed out by a previous follow-up post.
