Silver Lining by Kacey Musgrave
Based on her actual studio recording.   Anyone can do the finger picking at the beginning of this song.
The catchy finger picking riff is simply on the 4 strings of the Fmaj7 and G chords 
(actually only the 1st string (G) is needed for this pattern).
Capo 1
Intro: Solo guitar FMaj7  G 2X
Fmaj7Woke up on the wrong side of rock bottGom
Fmaj7Throw a lot of pennies in a well
That done run Gdry
Fmaj7Light up and smoke 'em if you have 'em
But you just ain't Ggot 'em
Fmaj7Yeah ain't we always looking
For a bluer Gsky?
CIf you're ever gonna find a silver liAmning
It's gotta be a cloudy Emday
It's gotta be a cloudy Fday
CIf you wanna fill your bottle up with lAmightning
You're gonna have to stand in the Emrain
You're gonna have to stand in the Frain
Hoo hoo Choooo
Hoo hoo Amhoooo
Hoo hoo Emhoooo
FHoo
Fmaj7If lemonade keeps turning into lemoGns
And you Fmaj7wear your heart on a ripped
Unravelled Gsleeve
Been Fmaj7run through the wringer
And pushed on to your Glimit
Say you're Fmaj7just unlucky
But luck ain't what you Gneed
C'Cause if you're ever gonna find
A four leaf Amclover
You gotta get a little dirt on your Emhands
You gotta get a little dirt on your Fhands
CAnd if you wanna find a head 
That fits your Amshoulder
You're gonna have to go to the Emdance
You're gonna have to go to the Fdance
CIf you wanna find the honey
You Amcan't be scared of the bees
And Emif you wanna see the forest
You're gonna Fhave to look past treesG  
Solo guitar FMaj7  G   riff as in beginning 2X
 C(Strum)                                    Am  
If you're ever gonna find a silver lining
It's gotta be a cloudy Emday
It's gotta be a cloudy Fday
CIf you wanna fill your bottle up with lAmightning
You're gonna have to stand in the Emrain
You're gonna have to stand in the Frain
Hoo hoo Choooo
Hoo hoo Amhoooo

Say you're just unlucky

But luck ain't what you need

'Cause if you're ever gonna find

A four leaf clover

You gotta get a little dirt on your hands

And if you wanna find a head

And if you wanna see the forest
