Intro/Verse

Stop the strings from ringing out. Basically this is just strumming around
an F# barre chord. It doesn't have to be done EXACTLY as written - it varies
throughout the song. Just use this as a guideline, the important thing is
getting the rhythm down. Utilize upstrokes as well as downstrokes.
