Version 1: The Eddie Van Halen 
"Right" Way

The opening chord (as best as I can 
tell--the bass doubles on the low E 
string, and
your ear's mileage may vary)

NOTE: This intro chord is plucked in
 6/4 time.

"You know how sometimes, you've got 
to run..." (1:40)

Eddie does this bit with a stocatto 
strumming that is better heard than 
explained
