One tutorial on Youtube claims, perhaps correctly, that the intro was recorded in open G, and looking online at Simon's Live performances, where he tends to omit the intro, may be clue that this in fact the case.
I guess I was wondering if anyone here had some definitive knowledge of this intro.
Thanks

Two different guitars. I just play in standard tuning, cowboy C chord, put my pinky on the third fret of the g string (Bb) and try to play some banjo rolls to start it off. I do that in the appropriate spots between verses as well. Works.
