I saw this great video a while ago and was inspired:

I've got the chords, but nowhere on the internet can I find the intro part.
Any help would be great!

You're referring to the 1985 hit song by the Norwegian band, A-Ha; their version was in the key of A.  The YouTube video of the Wellington Ukulele Orchestra is playing it in the key of C.  From what I could figure out by ear, the opening intro has this chord progression, which is played twice:

C - F - G7 |  C - Am

Don't mean to ressurect and ancient topic, but what I meant by "intro" was the picking part in the beginning. The chords I have, but I don't know too much about melodies or whatever at this point.
Should have been more clear I guess.
