These are the opening riffs that play before he starts singing but they are used throughout the song.
The song is a keyboard but it sounds good on guitar too.

The chord progression is really repetitive, which you may notice, but if you play
long with the song you'll see how it fits.
This is my updated tab, as i realized that the Am/B tab is wrong... the chord he
plays has no official name, so I am going to tab it below for everyone.
THE "Am/B" CHORD FOR THIS TAB
e|---0---| b|---1---| G|---2---| D|---X---| A|---2---| E|---X---|
So basically you're only moving your second finger down one string from D
to A. If you mute the D sting with the same finger (the old guitar "dead chord" taboo)
then it will come out a lot nicer. Sorry about that, and enjoy!
