The classic opener to Abandoned Luncheonette.
Both Hall and Oates are playing acoustic guitars. This is my approximation
of how to play it on one guitar.
First, there's a fill that is played occasionally between verses (and in the 
intro). Here's how I play it:
e|------7-------5-------3---3----|
B|------8-------7-------5---0----|
G|------7-------7-------5---0----|
D|--------------------------0----|
A|--------------------------2----|
E|--------------------------3----|
