This is the picking pattern I use, the beats appearing on the top two rows and the 
fingerings on the bottom two:
1 + 2 + 3 + 4 + 1
/ .(/). / .(/). / 
4 23 4  4 23 4  4
1     1 1     1 1
In the actual recording, the pattern changes from verse to chorus, but I haven't 
yet figured it out.  The above transcription is truly only half of the verse 
fingering, but I play it throughout and it sounds good enough, if not entirely 
authentic.  Gungor himself is much more melodic in his playing; but this chord 
sheet should fit the bill until a more talented guitarist comes along and improves 
it.
