from the the two first and two final verses are also used in the 3rd verse.\r\nThe song uses a consistent fingerpicking pattern throughout, which goes like this:\r\n                         [ch]C[/ch]*\r\ne|------------|       e|-------------------| \r\nB|--------x---|       B|--------5-------5--|\r\nG|----x-------|       G|----0-------0------|\r\nD|------x-----| e.g.  D|------5-------5----|\r\nA|--x---------|       A|--3-------3--------|\r\nE|------------|       E|-------------------|[/tab]\r\n\r\nThere is also a little transition from the G/B to F in the verses, I do this by playing the G/B three times, \r\nthen the 4th time putting my index finger on the 5 fret on the A string (relative to capo) and slide it up to \r\nthe F position.\r\n\r\nAfter the 2nd line and at the end of each verse, there is a sort of conclusive riff, which is tabbed below. \r\nThe 1st version comes after the 2nd line in each verse, while the 2nd version comes at the end of each verse.\r\n\r\n[tab]Version 1:              Version 2:\r\n    [ch]G[/ch]        [ch]C/G[/ch]  [ch]G[/ch]          [ch]G[/ch]        [ch]C/G[/ch]  [ch]G[/ch]\r\ne|-------------------|
