Okay,so your guitar is actually supposed to be tuned
to an open E for this song. Well if you are like me,
you don't really wanna mess with such a weird
tuning just to play one song, so I listened to the
song and wondered why they bothered to tune weird
when it's just as easy to play it like this:
INTRO with phaser?(I think)and delay

If you think this looks wrong just put the guitar
down and "read" along while listening to song and
you'll see how it matches up.(that's what I always
do before tackling a new song)
