I'm just giving this a shot, I have no idea how Wild Child plays it. You should be
able to play along to the recording of the album, it won't be exactly the same but it's close.
CAPO 2
You can strum the whole song, or the SIMPLIFIED version of the picking pattern is:
( C ) ( E ) ( Am) ( F )
e|-------------------------------------------------------------------------|
B|---1----------1--------0----------0------1---------1-----1---------1-----|
G|------0----0----0--------1----1----1-------2----2---2------2----2----2---|
D|---------2------------------2-----------------2---------------3----------|
A|---3-------------------2-----------------0---------------3---------------|
E|-------------------------------------------------------------------------|
