The picking pattern in this song can be a bit of a tongue twister at times. It's pretty easy to hear but less easy to play. I use my thumb on low E and D, index on G, middle on B, and ring on high E. INTRO:
e|--0-----0----0-----0-----0-------0---0-------0-|
B|----8-----8----7-----7-----5-3-1-------0-------|
G|------9----------9-----------------------0-----|
D|-------------------------------------------2---|
A|-----------------------------------------------|
E|0-----------0----------0-----------0-----------|
