On the recording of the song this is played in two parts so each are more pronounced, but when Ben plays it live this is what he does. c|-0--0-0-0----0--0--0-0--0---|0--0-0-0---0-0-0-0---| G|-0--0-0-0----0--0--0-0--0---|0--0-0-0---0-0-0-0---| G|-0--0-0-0----0--0--0-0--0---|0--0-0-0---0-0-0-0---| C|-0--4p2p0----0--0--0-0--0---|0--4p2p0---2p0-2p0---| G|-0--0-0-0----0--0--0-0--0---|0--0-0-0---0-0-0-0---| C|-0--0-0-0----0--0--0-0--0---|0--0-0-0---0-0-0-0---| c|-0--0-0-0--0-0-0--0-0---|0--0--0-0--0-0-0--0---|0--0--0-0---0-0-0--0---| G|-0--0-0-0--0-0-0--0-0---|0--0--0-0--0-0-0--0---|0--0--0-0---0-0-0--0---| G|-0--0-0-0--0-0-0--0-0---|0--0--0-0--0-0-0--0---|0--0--0-0---0-0-0--0---| C|-0--4p2p0--0-0-0--0-0---|0--0--0-0--0-0-0--0---|0--2--0-2---0-0-2--0---| G|-0--0-0-0--0-0-0--0-0---|2--0--0-0--0-0-0--0---|4--0--0-0---0-0-0--0---| C|-0--0-0-0--0-0-0--0-0---|0--0--0-0--0-0-0--0---|0--0--0-0---0-0-0--0---| I haven’t put in the actual strumming patterns for the outro or the chorus but these are fairly easy to pick up just by playing the song and trail and error. Hope you enjoy the song!
