Fantastic song! Welcome to GN.

For the intro, I capo at 2nd fret, then play:

e |-------------
B |-------------
G |-------------
D |-0h2-0---0---
A |-------2-----
E |-----------3-

No idea if this is correct, but it sounds okay.

The little hammer-on is quick - just pluck the open D string and immediately hammer on the 2nd fret (relative to capo.)

It's possible the note on the A string should be at third fret; I'm doing this from memory right now. But you're basically just working into a G-shape chord for the first strums. I've seen the intro chords as G and C, but I think Cadd9 sounds better.

Hope that helps.

That looks correct slejhamer. I saw a video which confirms the capo on the 2nd fret. I think the first thing is a quick hammer-on and pull-off at the 2nd fret (relative to the capo) of the D string. I don't have a guitar handy to confirm this but I know it is a G shape chord for the opening.
Anyone have the chords for the rest of the song?
