If the last chord of the intro is wrong which is weird because thats how everyone I know plays it, then what is the right chord. Also, an octive to low. Did you read the top. Just making sure because when I put my guitar in standard tuning and put a CAPO on the 3rd fret just like it says at the top, I can play right along with the CD. I still don't know what you mean when you say one octive to low. The song is in F so what should I do. CAPO it at the 15th fret to make it an octive higher. I don't think so. And if the think the last chord in the intro is an A major, your wrong too.

Ignore the rating if it remains low. This is right. Just make sure you read it closely to see about Capo placement and how the tab numbers are relitive to Capo. This tab will help you out.

its prefect if u play with the CAPO!
