The chords in the 1st part are used in the two first and two final verses, while the chords in the 2nd part
come in during the 3rd verse [this part also uses some of the chords from the 1st part]. The song uses a
consistent finger-picking pattern throughout, which is something like: A string, G-string, D-string, B-string
[if chords doesn't indicate otherwise of course].
There is also a little transition from the G/B to F in the verses, I do this by playing the G/B three times,
then the 4th time putting my index finger on the 5 fret on the A string [relative to capo] and slide it up to
the F position.
At the end of each verse, and between the 3rd and 4th lines there is a sort of conclusive riff, which goes
something like this:
Version 1: Version 2:
e|-------------------| e|-------------------|
B|--------0--0h1--0--| B|-------------------|
