Tuning: G C E A

This is my way of fingerpicking the song. Every verse is the fingerpicking pattern as shown below. The more you get into the song the more intense it should become, that's why i use more downstrokes inbetween the fingerpicking later in the song. I will show the picking pattern over the first verse, after that is it just repeat and intensify the playing. As you can see in the second verse there are more strums, the more intense the music gets the more you strum. (this will also allow you to sing louder) The rest of the verses are open to interpretation as far as intensety and strumming goes. At all the places where i put a chord on top of the tab i like to strum the whole chord.
