O Come, O Come Emmanuel - The Civil Wars
------------------------------------------------------------------------------|
Tabbed by: Marlaina You can pretty much pluck the rest of the song however you'd like and it will sound nice. But he seems to be hitting the root note of each chord and plucking two other strings individually. However, I do not think he has a specific pattern.
