Default Heard a New Song...no tabs yet

Hey all,

I heard this song the other day, BEST SHOT, by Jimmie Allen. I think it's pretty new because I can't find any decent tabs or toots on how to play it.

I love the intro on it and want to learn it but being fairly new to the guitar I don't have the aural chops to break it down. I do know the whole song uses only 4 ( Bm, A, G, D).

Would anyone be willing to post the tab for the intro with its picking order on the strings and finger placement on the chords?

It's sounds like a pretty pieces to play.

There's obviously a second lead guitar on top, but the acoustic is something like this:
Code:
 Bm          A                   Gadd9       Dadd9
|------------0------------------|------------------(0)---------|
|------3-x---2-----------2h3p2--|-----3--x---------(3)---------|
|------4-x---2----------------2-|2h4--2--x---------(2)---------|
|------4-x---2----------------2-|-----0--x---2h4---------2p0---|
|0h2-----x---0------------------|--------x---------------------|
|-------------------------------|3-------x---------------------|

It's not that easy for a beginner, IMO. The rhythmic feel is tricky, that right hand percussive technique. You need an unusual fingering for the G chord to get that hammer on on 3rd string. That Dadd9 shape in brackets is not audible first time, but would be the shape to play there if you want one (holding the 4th fret 4th string while you do).

Thanks. I'll give this a try. I made a feeble attempt at trying to figure this out on my own and came somewhat close but not really. This helps.

I had a feeling the fingering for that G was going to be wonky.
