Brown Eyed Girl Intro Tab

The guitar introduction to "Brown Eyed Girl" by Van Morrison features major scale patterns played in thirds. The first phrase is played over a G major chord and uses the G major scale starting with G at the 12th fret of string 3. The second phrase is played over a C major chord and uses the C major scale starting with C at the 13th fret of string 2. The very last phrase is part of a D major barre chord and requires a bit of finger or hybrid (pick and finger) picking.
