Just a thought… In the introduction (and subsequent, similar bars) isn’t the last note in each bar the third string, second fret? This would change the last, whole beat of what you play in each of these bars into two half beats.
Great tablatures by the way – I’ve used them myself sometimes when I’ve been stuck.

He sometimes puts that note in John. By all means add it.
