NOTES:
On the recording, the INTRO is played on a mandolin. The chords are A and E so,
if you have an electric guitar, you could play at the 12th fret to keep
in a high register. Unfortunately, with an acoustic, you don't have much room
to fret up there so you'll need another arrangement. Timing is 4/4.
