This isn't completely authentic to the original (which is played with capo on 7th fret - see live
versions on YouTube), but it works with the vocals.
I like to use a slow folky picking style for the verses, and a faster arpeggio for the choruses,
increasing intensity on the last repeat (Stu switches from picking to strumming there).
The Instrumental break and outro include a Tin Whistle - I usually improvise something, but for the
purpose of this tab, I've repeated the Intro.  Play around with it, and have fun.
