The basic picking pattern is: e ---------*--------|| e ---------*--------|| B -------------*-*--|| B -------------*-*--|| G --------------*--.||for F&G G ------*-------*--.||for Am&C D ------*----------.|| D ----*------------.|| A ----*-------------|| A -*----------------|| E -*----------------|| E ------------------|| ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ 1 2 1 2 and from the halfway through the first verse on, pretty much the whole song follows this pattern. The intro and first line use a different picking pattern (which is more difficult to follow AND keep time AND sing to), so I suggest getting used to the core pattern before trying the intro/1st verse.

Any improvements welcome. Nic Nic.Boulton@cw.mercury.co.uk
