In the Intro riff I like to add a hammer on from the 11th fret to the 13th on the D string. I also do this because I basically bar the 11th fret and then after I'm set to bar the 9th.
Add Capo on the 9th and play a D chord (000232) and A/D chord (000220) for the intro and verses. Sounds exactly like the record and has easier hand movement.
Good tab :D
