Capo: 2
I'm posting this mainly as a cheat version for those who want to play and sing the song -but those of you
looking for the finger picking can also gain some insight.
Capo on 2nd Fret -- Standard Tuning
Intro/verse picking: (fret relative to capo)
|---3---5-3-----3---5-3-----3--5-3-------5----------|
|----3-----3-----3-----3-----3----3-----3-3---------|
|-----0-----0-----0-----0-----0----0-5^0---0-5-4-2--|
|-5-----------4-----------2-------------------------|
|---------------------------------------------------|
|---------------------------------------------------|
Base chords are G - D/F# - Em - D - C
-but you should always have your fingers on the 3rd fret down on the 1st and 2nd string when you play the
chords (see below), except for the D in spots. I also finger the 2nd fret, 3rd string during
part of the verse as below.

Xtra:
Occasionally I'll play an alternative to the main lick from the intro during the song. This comes right
after the Em, where I normally play the D.
