   The fingerpicking in this song is pretty simple. You just hit the
   bass string once, then pick the E B G strings, the exact notes are
   not important, just do it in the right rhythm.

   VERSE 1: [see tab below for picking]
   
   
   TAB FOR VERSE 1: it's impossible to tab out
   the picking EXACTLY like it is, he picks the E B and G strings
   kinda randomly, but this is as close as I could get)

   FILL 1:            b = bend up     r = release bend

   Verse 2 and the rest of the song is just strummed. The only thing
   to remember is that the electric guitar sometimes throws in two
   little fills, one on the E chord, and one on the D chord.
