Intro Pattern:
Just the Verse Pattern with extra hammer-ons. The tricky part is walking down from 3 to 2 on the A string
in the second measure because you need to switch between your ring finger and middle finger and use the
other finger to do the hammer-on.
The hammer-ons are triplets.

That's it.
Get these three parts down and then just strum the chords to the Choruses.
There are plenty of tabs with the chords so I won't add them here.
