INTRO and POST-CHORUS
The intro is G but then he hammers on (and pulls off) on the D and B strings
(essentially making a C with G bass):
e|--3--3----| B|--0--h1---| G|--0--0----| D|--0--h2---| A|--x--x----| E|--3--3----|
So strum a G, then hammer on, strum a few more, then pull off on a strum. Repeat four
times. Listen to the song for exact timing.
