_ _ _ _ _ Okay, we're going to be going on to our intro first.
We're going to start with our thumb plucking the third string. _
[Bb] Then we're going to play the third string, third fret, giving a little [Db] choke up.
And then second string with our [C] first fret.

[C] _ Now we're going to hammer from first fret to the third [G] fret.
_ And that's going to be the thumb plucking as [Bb] well.
[C] _ [G] _ And then I'm going to be plucking the fifth string, beginning of a forward roll.
That ring finger sticks there at the second string, third fret.
And I make sure it clears that first string so it can ring out.
So it's 5-2-1 with our thumb, first, and middle.
_ So [Gm] thumb, [C] thumb, thumb, [G] hammer, 5-2-1.
So let's just go ahead and do that in cyclic.
Let's do it.

[C] _ _ [G] _ _ Rest. _ _
[Gm] _ [C] _ [Gm] _ 5-2-1, rest, rest.
_ [C] _ [G] Rest. _ _ _ _

So after this 5-2-1, we're going to play another 5-2-1.
And then end up with a 5.
So it's 5-2-1, 5-2-1, 5.
_ So we're going to play [Bb] 3-3 [C]-2 [G]-2, 5-2-1, 5-2-1, 5.

_ _ _ _ _ [Bb] _
[C] _ _ [G] _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ [C] _ _ [G] _ _ _ _
[C] _ [Gm] And then we're going to play third string _ at the third fret.
And our first finger is plucking this one.
And as we pull it off, we play the middle finger plucking the first string, which is open. _ _ _ _ _ _ _

So it's first, middle, and then thumb plucks the next one.

_ [G] _ _ [Bb] _ [C] _ [Gm] _ _ _
_ _ _ _ And after that, nope, it's a quick one.
_ _ [C] _ [Gm] And _
_ _ [G] _ _ _ I didn't play it.
Because it's going to lead into this.
_ _ So it's 3-1, slide.
[F] And that slide is from the third fret all the way to the [G] fifth fret on the fourth string with the ring finger.
_ [Bb] _
[C] _ [Gm] I _ _ [G] _ _ _
