This is just the iconic intro, which he comes back to frequently.
Guitar part by the great Chip Young, based around an Am chord shape.
It's just one measure, four beats. I repeated it once above to make
it easier to learn, and spaced it out so each dash is a 32nd note.
There are a lot of lessons and tabs out there that don't get this
one right. Maybe because so much of it is played open - when we're
trying to figure out where to put our fret fingers to make it sound
right we don't think about leaving them up in the air ;-).
Start slowly. Like they say: get it right then get it fast.
Big thanks to Lee McDaid https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vlCNkK3rsfo
for getting it right.

After a very careful slowed down listen using "Transcribe!" (great software), I removed the low A repeating on beats 2-4 and made it a double pull-off on beat 4
+1

What's the tuning to this song? I tried standard EADGBE but it sounds to high pitched while played with the capo on fret 4
