I just had a listen to "Russian Hill" and it sounds like it has a capo on
the first fret to make an open F. The folling are then the chords with
the first fret now being "0" or open and the real 5th fret on the guitar
being the 4th fret (remember with the capo on, everything changes to one
fret less than what it is on the guitar). With that in mind here is the
tab of the intro:

-----4----4-----4----4-----4-4-----4----4----4---4---4-4-
-----4----4-----4----4-----4-4-----3----3----3---3---3-3-
-----4----4-----4----4-----4-4-----4----4----4---4---4-4-
-----2----2-----2----2-----2-2-----2----2----2---2---2-2-
-----2----2-----2----2-----2-2-----2----2----2---2---2-2-
--0----0-----0----0-----0--0-0---0----0----0---0---0-0-0-
  d u  d  u  d  u d  u  d  u d   d u  d u  d u d u d u d

      F Major 7                      F 7


-----4----4-----4----4-----4-4-----4----4----4---4---4-4-
-----2----2-----2----2-----2-2-----3----3----3---3---3-3-

       F 6                             F 7

Remember again that the first fret is capoed and that it becomes the NEW
open. ....The F Major 7 is barred with the index finger going across all
six strings on the NEW 2nd fret (real 3rd fret) and the ringer finger of
your left hand barres across the top three strings on the NEW 4tth fret
(real 5th fret).

The other thing to know is the strumming pattern. The "d" underneath the
tab is down strumming and the "u" is up strumming.

That's the main part at the beginning any way.


Since the fretting stays
the same on the EAD strings, you only have to worry about the GBE strings.
