I think? Eric plays it in 4/4 timing, but 3./4 timing works well also. Before you come into the first 
try creating a little run on the 
C
 chord I tend to do something like pick the 
B
 string then the 
G
 , 
D
 pulloff 
a hammer-on , 
G
 ,
D
 pulloff. Just anything that will lead you into the first verse.
