Artist Name: Who The
Song Name  : Teenage Wasteland intro (synth bit)  (Baba O’ Reilly)
==========================================================

This is actually done over a synth, so its not really a portion of the song 
played live, but you can reproduce the sound pretty well by doing this.

RH 4|-----c---f---c-------c---f---c-----|
RH 3|-f---------------f---------------f-|
LH 3|---f---f---f---f---f---f---f---f---|

REPEAT

You'll be playing the 3f key with both your right and left hand.
It may be useful to practice only the right hand down first.

Check out this youtube video to see it done (one way of doing it)

The tuning on this song is sharp by almost a quarter step on the recording.

Most of it is just 3 piano chords: F5, C5, and Bb

just a note to all the people who are looking to learn the intro to this 
amazing song -- they never played the intro to this live. they had synth'ed
 it on a computer or keyboard or something but they could never accurately 
duplicate it live, so they just played a loop recording of the intro bit while
 they played the piano and guitar and stuff live overtop of it. i'm no expert 
on the Who but just to let you know -- you can try to learn the whole intro but
 odds are, (1) you'll never be able to or (2) it won't do you much good.

"they're all wasted!"
