Can't figure out exactly what he's doing in the intro but just play around with G+G and C majorC triads. The slide to
the 9 and 8 set him up for the intro licks below.

   Make me an angel,  that          flys from   montgomery.
   Make me a  poster, of            an old   rodeo           (<--- doesn't play the Fsus2Fsus2 but hammers to C majorC)
 Just give me one thing that        I can hold  on to           (<--- he uses a C/E(87558x) for this line)
To believe in this living is just a hard way to go
Between the fourth and first measures of the chorus he embellishes the G+G chord a lot, and also switches from
pick to his hands pretty often.

Solo: - He plays (and picks) some of these notes very fast. If you don't pick and hammer on where necessary
it could sound very differnt.
