The tab below assumes you're playing an open G (300023); just work this pattern into your finger-picking, if any. It also sounds nice when moved down an octave, but you need to go to dropped-D tuning. e|----------------|----------------| (Played twice behind 1st B|--0--0h1--0-----|----------------| line of each verse) G|-------------2--|--0--0----------| D|----------------|--------0h2--0--| A|----------------|----------------| E|----------------|----------------| Verse 1:
