Can't figure out exactly what he's doing in the intro but just play around with G and C triads. The slide to
the 9 and 8 set him up for the intro licks below.

Make me an angel, that flys from montgomery.
Make me a poster, of an old rodeo (<--- doesn't play the Fsus2 but hammers to C)
Just give me one thing that I can hold on to (<--- he uses a C/E(87558x) for this line)
To believe in this living is just a hard way to go
Between the fourth and first measures of the chorus he embellishes the G chord a lot, and also switches from
pick to his hands pretty often.
[Solo] - He plays (and picks) some of these notes very fast. If you don't pick and hammer on where necessary
it could sound very differnt.
