Capo on 2nd fret (or not)
This is typically how I play it finger-picked on a classical. You'll have to listen to
the song to pick out the repetitions and variations.
***There's a simpler version of the verse and chorus posted after the solo, which will
get you through the basics of the song much more quickly.***
