Hello there :)
To play this, I suggest you watch two youtube videos:
1. SB.TV - Alexis Jordan - "Happiness" - A64
2. Alexis Jordan - Happiness - Shean Williams Cover
Those are very useful videos for learning the rhythm.
This tab is for the first one I have provided.
Alexis Jordan - Happiness
Capo at 1st
Intro: G(add9)-G* rhythm like this:
G(add9)......32020x
G*...........32040x
(is you are playing a finger-picking rhythm, you don't need A string,
but if you are jerking all the strings, than use A string, on second fret)
