Notes:
Original recording is somewhat sharp in tuning.
In the first three bars of the intro, hold the chord forms (Dm/Em) so that the bass notes ring and in
bars 1 & 2 the D/E note an octave higher also rings. In the 3rd bar of the capo version there is a shift
from the 3rd fret to 5th fret (instead of open e string) which you can hear on the original recording.
For the end of the intro let the 3rd fret D note ring against the open E string in the capo version /
9th fret E ring against the 7th fret F# in the no capo version.
