This song is actually picked in a particular pattern - and after listening to the song
for ages, and pulling up the submitted tabs (all of which I can see apart from the
Guitar Pro version) they fell short in giving a true rendition of the song as it's
played on the record.
So here goes what I've sorted after spending some time parsing it out by ear, and broken
into sections which I'll label against the verses below:
Intro:
Pt.1 & 2 played in succession twice...
Pt.1
e|-----2--------0--------3-----1-1---------|
B|--------3--------1----0-1r0--0-0---------|
G|---------------------0--0----0-0---------|
D|-----------------------------------------|
A|-----------------------------------------|
E|--3--------3--------3------3-------------|
Pt.2
e|--------------------------------1--11----|
B|------3---------1--------0--0-1-0--00----|
G|----2----2----0---0----0----0-0-0--00----|
D|--0--------------------------------------|
