The picking part that's used
throughout the song goes
like this:
F G C Cmaj7
E|------------------------------|
B|------------------------0-----|
G|------0-------0-------0-------|
D|------------0-------2---------|
A|----3-------------3-----------|
E|--1-------3-------------------|
This picking pattern is used in a lot of places in the song, you'll
hear it. The chords through most of the song are 'F G C Cmaj7', you
can always use this picking stuff on those chords. Then he strums
'Am C' at the beginning of the choruses, that's the whole song. I
just strum all the chords, it sounds good to me.
INTRO: [play with picking pattern above]
