Em:     x x 2 4 5 3
G:      3 2 0 0 0 3
of note: of course, this is a piano song, so this is, at best, 
a bad hack transcription. the F7 isn't the usual F-flatted 7th that 
you might see ( 0 3 3 2 1 0 ) so be careful with that.
i play the intro Bb by hitting the three higher strings first, then the
root, like this:
E|                   1 
b|  3     3  3 /4    1
G|  3     3  4 /5    2
D|  3     3  5 /6    3
A|     1     5 /6    3
E|     1     3 /4    1      
(altho the song doesn't have that low F (E string, first fret,) i play it
in unison with the Bb to make it sound thicker.)
