listen to the song for timings , and work out your own strum pattern
depending on what style your playing this . fairly simple chords , but in
places this will be quite hard to follow due to the fact there is alot of
instrumental bits in the song , just play along and try to see whats happening .

* the little C C/B figure doesnt really appear in the song , its a lead
guitar run down an E minor scale on the track , but i like to play it when
playing this acoustically as it sounds pretty good . if you want to skip it just
keep playing Em for this bit .
