This isn't exactly how Matt plays it, but you can still get away playing it this way.
The notes put in between the chords for the intro/verses is just something I play to 
make it sound more like how Matt does it.
Play around with it and make up your own way if you want, but the notes aren't 
necessary, just a little addition, and helps to time chord changes.
Standard Tuning
Capo 2nd Fret
Intro/Verse
(Again, just recommended. These are the chords Matt uses, but the note pattern is my 
own. Make something else with the chords if you like.)
