This next part is for verse 2 ("And there on the hill, up on Half-Blood Hill...") and is not necessary but if you can get it to work is sounds good. For a more dramatic affect, strum down once (LIGHTLY) per chord (where you see a line of ⬇) Or if you want to keep it more soft and sweet, continue with the pattern above.

Let the note ring on that last strum. For the next part, strum the note down twice and let the second one ring out. The strums should line up with the first and second sillabal of "Maybe" (May-be).

    "Maybe" doesn't make it alright...
Go back to the original picking pattern for most of the third verse. Play that up until "be" on "of all I failed to be" then play this:
