This is indicated in the chord chart by an asterisk preceding a group of chords which are placed inside square brackets. Anywhere the asterisk appears in the chord chart, it means the first tab staff of the Intro is played with the next 4 bars (the chords in the brackets). /...slide up ~...vibrato \...slide down (This file is the transcriber's own work and represents their interpretation of the song.)
