: :There are four picking patterns used throughout the song. One for each of
: :the Am, Em and C chords used, with a change of pattern on the Am in the
: :second and subsequent verses (although the original pattern is still used
: :for the choruses and outro). Its hard to tell what the fingerpicked
: :guitar does when the chords change  in the outro, as there is another
: :guitar over the top, playing some similar ideas up an octave (I might get
: :round to transcribing these one day!)
: :
: :Here is the chord structure for the song:
: :Note that the complete picking pattern takes up two bars.
