Organ Intro*:
D, A, G, A, D, A, G, A,
Bm, G, A, Bm, G, A, Bm, G, A, Bm, A
*Obviously it's hard
to get the feel of the organ on a guitar, but if you really want to play
what VH plays, you can fingerpick it and it sounds ok. All I can advise
to pick up the changes is to play along with the intro.

it with the song.
