* i think Liams guitar is tuned down to Eb so use a capo on the 1st fret.
or just use normal tuning.
* listen to the song to get the rhythm
Intro E, D, E, D, G, D, E, B/F which can be just looped also
This is looped through the Intro / Verse,
E|---------------------------------------------------------------------------| B|---------------------------------------------------------------------------| G|---------------------------------------------------------------------------| D|---------------------------------------------------------------------------| A|----------5--5------5--------5--5----5--------5--5--5/7--------------------| E|--0----0--------------0--0-------------3----3-------------0--2--2--2-------|

[E] [D] i want to see [E] you[D] playong with your shad[G]ow

Play some notes out of Em Pentatonic or similar (then loop it in reverse)
