I saw this song played live and he uses variations of it live. He plays this version
live and it is the same as the album. This song is totally 100% correct. This song is
played with fingerpicking. Its hard to pick up at first but I somewhat explained how
to do it.
Key:
\ -Slide Down
F -Fingerpick (This songs verse and intro require you to fingerpick. The easiest way to
do that is to get your finger positions ready, then take you thumb index and middle
fingerand place them on the strings to make the sound pull them together. That is the
best way I can explain it)

go back to chorus
This song is pretty straight forward, other then the chorus and verse
being a little tricky this song is really easy.
