There has been some question to whether the intro riff is played
in this position or all on the D string near the 10th and 12th frets.
If you prefer to play it this way, the TAB is:

G[--------------------------------------------------------------]
D[-0--10-7-0-12--0-10-7-0-0--0--0-10-7-0-13--0-10-7-0-13--0-12--]
