Try to figure out the plucking but it still sounds excellent if strummed throughout.
I haven't gotten around to figuring out the plucking used in the intro and the first
two lines of the last chorus but the verses goes like this:
(Chord) (Next chord)
E|----x---|----x---|
b|---x-x--|---x-x--| ... and so on for every chord then strum the last chord
g|--x---x-|--x---x-|
d|-x-----x|-x-----x|
a|x-------|x-------|
e|--------|--------|
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Although all of this is optional since it still sounds fantastic strummed throughout.
