The song begins with the keyboard part which I have transcribed to guitar tab.  You hear 
first 4 notes before the guitar chords come in.

Lyric/Chord pattern:
           C#m          D#m
It make no sense at all
                        G#m
to say what you used to do


I like to slide into the chords from a fret below (Gm/G#m, Cm/C#m, Dm/D#m), but that 
how they do it in the original recording.  Solos should be done in the key of G#m.
