If you get a good one for Thank You Friends, post it here. I couldn't get it to sound right, especially the intro.

 

Just happen to have my guitar handy so here's the intro as best I can figure out using a youtube clip:

 

 

E|----3-3---------3-3----------3-3--------------------3---|
B|----3-3---------3-3----------3-3---3------5----3----3---|
G|----0-0---------0-0----h-----2-2---2---/4---\2---2------|
D|----------H-----2-2---0-2-0--0-0------s----s------------|
A|---------0-2-0------------------------------------------|
E|-3------------------------------------------------------|

Awesome dude! Thanks!!!

 

While you're at it, can you take a stab at "Just A Kid"? And if it's in a weird tuning, can you fake it in standard tuning? I hate tuning the guitar in standard tuning so songs in alternate tunings are non starters for me. I know, bad attitude. I probably need more guitars.
