Hope that this version is helpful! When in doubt, listen to the track and try to feel it out,
but I've tried my best to match the recording.
The song is in 3/4
In the verses, pick E string on beat 1, and the D and G strings on beats 2 and 3,
like a waltz, for each chord except for D
In the chord progression, when going from E to Esus, hammer onto fret 2 of the G string on beat 3
