Intro:
The intro is Gm, Eb, Bb
And you just pick the g and b strings from each chord, so the 2nd and 3rd strings.

Then for the 2nd part of the intro he uses the same exact chords with an added fmajor
chord and he plays them in the same sequence except he just strums them full in a straight
up down rhythm.

there then these

Also during those verses the second guitar embellishes the baseline/or chords with
a Gm triad, it's the little sparkle that you hear. He plays it twice at the third fret
and then
another two times an octave higher at the 15th. You'll have to listen to when he plays them
so that you can space them out appropriately.
