Here's the great song "Star Mile" from the album We Were Here. It's not particularly 
but it's fun to play.
I haven't tabbed the picking but if you listen to the record you'll figure it out 
Also, everytime he changes from G major to E minor has a little bass-walk, usally E-3-2-0. 
listen to the record to get it right. Don't forget to put Capo on the 2nd fret.
