Chords

Try to figure out the plucking but it still sounds excellent if strummed throughout. I haven't gotten around to figuring out the plucking used in the intro and the first two lines of the last chorus but the verses goes like this:
 (Chord)  (Next chord)
E|----x---|----x---|   
b|---x-x--|---x-x--|    ... and so on for every chord then strum the last chord  
g|--x---x-|--x---x-|        
d|-x-----x|-x-----x|
a|x-------|x-------|
e|--------|--------|
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Although all of this is optional since it still sounds fantastic strummed throughout. ==========================================/========================================== [Intro:] (pluck/strum lightly) C, F, Bb, Bb (x2) [Verse I]
