Standard Tuning - Capo 3rd Fret

Basically I just finger pick the chords until the chorus, which I strum, 
in the actually song there are two guitars one is picking individual notes,
 the other strumming. I think it sounds pretty good throughout if you pick
 bass note with your thumb and and alternate to the 4th and 5th strings like:

e
b   0   0   1   1
g   0   0   2   2
d
a         0   0 
E 3   3
