In My Arms Chords

   
ENCOURAGEMENT: Regardless of what any other tab for this song says, this
               version of the song is not just for experienced guitarists.
               You just need to know how to play bar chords.

**PLEASE NOTE** - I am pretty sure I'm missing a couple of notes in the 
                  flat picking section.  The song switches back and forth
                  on some of the tail end picking patterns.  I don't think
                  I caught them all.  Also, BY NO MEANS do I consider myself
                  a professional musician or professional music transcriber.
                  So, please don't take this as such.  I am playing this song
                  for my youth group next week, so I figured I'd post up what
                  I think might be the correct version of this tab/chords as
                  it'd help learn the song.  I'm also open to constructive
                  criticism, so feel free to leave comments or send me a
                  message.

This is the flat picking that's done through the intro and verses.  It's 
essentially just an Ebm, B, Ebm, Abm flat picking rotation where at times
you play the 2nd and 4th notes rather than just the 1st, 3rd (or flat 3rd),
and 5th.
