Chords

Hi, this is my first tab ever, I am a beginner, and therefore I have the smallest idea on picking patterns (which are always present on Johnny's songs, sad for us, novices!). Sorry you'll have to figure them out ): This tab is based on Johnny Flynn's gig in Brooklyn New York video found in youtube. Basically he uses the A chord barred throughout the song. On the chorus, I tried my best to guess the last verse. This time, when he plays B7, it's the barred chord also. The reason why there are C#m chords in brackets on the last verse of the chorus is that I wasn't sure if he actually played the chord, but surely there is something going on around the 4th fret (damn picking patterns!!!). Here it goes. Hope it's helpful!
