As for reading
the intro, you'll notice on my tab
there's a few H's between some of the numbers, that
means hammer on. Basically, you'd have played the
first note, then, without picking, you strike the next
note with your finger. A good example is the first
notes for this intro where I have G--2H4 -- you'd
play the 2nd fret of the G string with your first
finger, then hammer on to the 4th fret on the G with
your ring finger - again, you don't pick the second
note, the act of bringing your finger (like a hammer)
to the string will cause the note to sound.
Another point is the "/" mark, which is only present
once towards the end of the first half of the solo --
the example is B--3/5. What this means is that you'll
pick the 3rd fret of the B string using your 2nd
finger, then slide the note to the 4th fret (using the
same finger of course). Here it is important to keep
pressure on the string as you slide to ensure that the
note doesn't "die" and keeps ringing.

G D
Packed my suitcase, I racked my brain
Em C
I bought a ticket on a late night train
G D
Took a taxi through the pouring rain
C D G
I'm coming home to you
Flew from Boston out to San Jose
Sae our
old friends in Monterey Bay
When they asked me if I'd like to stay
I said I'm comin' home to you
CHORUS:
I'm
comin' home
Made up my mind that's what I'm gonna do
Can't love nobody on the telephone
I'm comin' home to you
They
threw a party there from dusk 'till dawn
Seems like everybody knows old sleepy John
He said next time I better bring
you along
I'm comin' home to you
They had fresh caught salmon on the bareques
There were people jammin' all night
to the blues
Life is good out in Santa Cruz but
I'm comin' home to you
CHORUS
I drove forever out to God
knows where
Come ten-thirty there was no one there
They couldn't pay me but I didn't care
I'm comin' home to you
I'm
feelin' better since I got your card
I read it over and over when the road gets hard
Ain't nothin' better than your
own backyard
I'm comin' home to you
CHORUS x 2
Packed my suitcase and I racked my brain
Bought a ticket
on the late night train
Took a taxi in the pourin' rain...…
