FM7 : x00560
Dsus4 : x00233
Dsus2 : x00230
Am7 : x02010
Em7 : 022030
FM7 is x00560, and you repeatedly hammer-on the third (G) string (0h5).
The mention of Dsus4 is to indicate that you should fiddle around with the
high E string, between D, Dsus4 and Dsus2.

the real intro is this more or less. The strumming has to be listened to for it to make sense......
