intro riff is played again

(oh well...)

The last time they play the A D G there's a mildly

distorted electric guitar= =20 playing 12ths. I didn't

tab it out because i was only interested in an

acoustic version of the song, and Michael has a pretty

good version.

Here's what he had in his version:
