Here's How I play the song. I don't strum
but pick/pluck. It's not every single note
you hear them hitting- there is 3 of them
and just 1 of me;) but this sounds nice!


The intro and the end of verses
instramental (C...  E* Em* E* Em*)

     C
e|------------------------------|
B|------------------------------|
G|-----0-0--0-0--0--1-0-1-0-----|
D|------------------------------|
A|---3--3----3----3-------------|
E|------------------------------|



This is each verse, but basically this
it's the pattern I use for each chord (the 
order of the chords change in the chorus 
and bridge but it's still the same pattern 
per chord wherever that chord is played.)


     C       Am        Dm         G
e|-----------------------------------------|
B|----1--1------1--1-----2--2------3--3----|
G|----0--0------2--2-----3--3------0--0----|
D|---------------------0--0---0------------|
A|--3--3---3--0--0---0---------------------|
E|-------------------------------3--3---3--|


Oh, and here's the pattern I do for the 
C C/B Am sequence toward the end.

    C     C/B   Am
e|---------------------------|
B|----1-----1-----1----1-----|
G|----0-----0-----2----2-----|
D|---------------------------|
A|--3--3--2--2--0--0--0--0---|
E|---------------------------|
