This is exactly how James Bay plays this song on guitar.
But in the video he forgot to tell some details that you can find in this tab.
Tune down a whole step.
The intro and verse are the same repeating pattern.
To play faster and to get the timing I suggest you count (1 2 3, 1 2 3, 1 2)
as I showed it on top of the first pattern.
Lyrics timings under the patterns are put exactly the same as in the song.
Consider paying attention to CAPS.
