I know I'll feel a whole lot more

     G
When I get alone.
[Solo] Play this three times but only the A the last time, just hang the D chord. Listen to the recording for timing. If you know a bit of hybrid picking, this should sound pretty smooth to use the pick to play the chord and then the lines with your fingers.
