Capo: 2 Tuning: D A D F# A D
Tabbed from http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6SoRMrtX02w to the best of my ability The only formed chord to speak of is and E while the rest are just single finger placements on the lowest D string. The picking pattern is basically thumb, finger, thumb, finger, etc…, whichever fingers feel right.
