intro :
starts using an E – shape at the 8th fret sliding up to 10th ( C to D ) then slide back to
8th fret ( D to C ) . this is followed A – shaped C at the 3rd fret sliding up to 5 ( C to D )
then back to 3rd fret . then an E – shaped G at the third fret followed by A – shaped C at 3
and ending on A D chord which brings you to the start of the lyrics . i do play the top
three strings open for one
beat just before the D chord at the end of the intro .

so in short : C – >d , D – >c , C – >d , D – >c , G , C , ( open strum G , B , E strings ) , D .

you and me
