I think this is how the inrto is played, its a little difficult but its not impossible. G---------0---4----0-----|---- D-0---2-4-------2----4-0-|-0-- A------------------------|---- E------------------------|----

Gday been playin' this since the who first released the song and every bass player had to be able to atleast play the intro :) G------------4-------------|---- D--------------7-5-4-------|---- A-------4-5----------7-5---|---- E-5---7--------------------|---- I think this sounds right and is relatively easy to play :)

This is the first time that I have done this disregaurd first my effort as I don't know how to remove it try this it is easy but then I have been playing it for about 47 years :) G------------4-------------|---- D-------4-5----7-5-4-------|---- A-5---7-------------7-5----|---- E--------------------------|----
