Desperation Breeds - Andrew Bird The fingerpicking in the verse looks complex, but all you need to do is play the bass with your thumb and the melody with your index finger. Once you get the timing, it's easy enough (or just scroll down to the bottom and play the chords).

violin and improvising that would be impossible to tab, so I'll leave it there. You could leave out the fancy instrumentation and just play the whole song with this fingerpicking style or just with the chords. Chords:
