Over the years, I have seen this intro played a few different ways. I believe 1 & 2 are played together but all sound good. If there are 2 guitars playing, you can harmonize by playing 2 different ones.
G C G D Hey, where did we go days when the rain came G C G D Down in the hollow playing a new game G C G D Laughing, and a running, hey, hey Skipping and a jumping G C G D7 C in the misty morning fog, with our hearts a thumpin' and you, D7 G Em my brown eyed girl C D7 G D You, my brown eyed girl
G C G D Whatever happened to Tuesday and so slow G C G D Going down to the old mine With a transistor radio G C G D Standing in the sunlight laughing Hiding behind a rainbow's wall G C G D7 C Slipping and a sliding All along the waterfall With you, D7 G Em my brown eyed girl C D7 G You, my brown eyed girl

REPEAT INTERLUDE & FADE:
Throughout the song, guitar 2 is following the chords with some picking. I have tabbed out to give you an idea on how it is played. With a guitar part like this, I think you get down the basics and improvise!

G C G D
Hey, where did we go days when the rain came
G C G D
Down in the hollow playing a new game
G C
Laughing, and a running, hey, hey
G D G C
Skipping and a jumping in the misty morning fog,
G D C D G Em
with our hearts a thumpin' and you, my brown eyed girl
C D G
You, my brown eyed girl
Whatever happened to Tuesday and so slow
Going down to the old mine
With a transistor radio
Standing in the sunlight laughing
Hiding behind a rainbow's wall
Slipping and a sliding
All aling the waterfall
With you, my brown eyed girl
You, my brown eyed girl
bridge:
D7
Do you remember when we used to sing
G C G D7
Sha la la la la la la la te da Just like that
G C G D7 G
Sha la la la la la la la te da la te da
Now that I'm all on my own
I saw you just the other day
My, how you have grown
Cast my memory back there Lord
Sometimes I'm overcome thinkin' 'bout it
Laughing and a running hey, hey
Behind the stadium
With you, my brown eyed girl
You, my brown eyed girl
Play bridge again
