Tuning: Standard
The intro, verse and chorus all uses some finger picking based around the same 4 chord progression.
Listen to the song to get a feel for the picking and timing, but generally he's hitting the root note
then the top two or three strings. I haven't shown the exact picking because he mixes it up a bit so
just play around with it.
