* i think Liams guitar is tuned down to Eb so use a capo on the 1st fret.
or just use normal tuning.
* listen to the song to get the rhythm
Intro E, D, E, D, G, D, E, B/F which can be just looped also
This is looped through the Intro / Verse,
E|---------------------------------------------------------------------------|

A|----------5--5------5--------5--5----5--------5--5--5/7--------------------|
