You're welcome guys

It really is a good tune to work on barre chords with.
You can use the same chords as the verse for a 'cheats' intro.

Just play one down strum and then arpeggiate the top 3 strings a couple of times on each chord.. that is,
Rest the index(I) middle(M) and ring (A) fingers on the 3rd, 2nd and 1st strings, strum down from the bass note with the thumb and then up with the fingers on the 1,2,3 strings starting with the ring (A) in this sequence
Bmin Strum A M I A M I A M I
F# Strum A M I A M I A (let the last note ring)
A Strum A M I A M I A M I
E Strum A M I A M I A (let ring)
G Strum A M I A M I A M I
D Strum A M I A M I A (let ring)
Emin Strum A M I A M I A M I (slide fingers up to F# while last note still ringing)
F # A M I A M I A (tap the guitar body twice then off you go in to the first verse )

With this the A sounds better played normally as x02220 instead of a barre, but the x02225 shape is a good one to practice, especially if you want to get in to blues


Cheers
