Chords

[Chords] C x32010 Fsus2 1x301x F 1x321x Gsus4 3x001x C/B x2001x (Cmaj7sus2/B) Am7 x0201x C/E 03201x The C* followed by Gsus4 chords in each chorus indicates that it should be played like the third measure of the intro tab. The picking throughout the verses matches the style of many of his other songs and, apart from the instances in which he adds a hammer-on to the Gsus4 chord, your first finger can stay rooted on the first fret of the B string as a pivot point throughout the song. I have updated these chords so each new chord indicates the timing of the downbeat where the bass note starts the picking pattern.
Intro Tab - this is close to what he plays.
