My first attempt at posting, so please be kind.
I did this by memory of the song, and not by comparison with a CD
At least this is better than no intro at all!

Actually a very well done tab. To play the song well, to make it soun anything like runaway train, you need:

  1. A well tuned guitar
  2. Complete involvement in the song. Don't try to even sing if you are playing the guitar.
  3. Fluency is essential for this song. If you can't make it sound like the song, don't blame the tabber. He has done a very good job.
