I think he met the finger picking parts in the beginning which I don't have a tab for nor do I know it. I think he just finger picks these chords:

Am: x-x-7-5-5-5

G: x-x-5-4-3-3

F: x-x-3-2-1-1


anyone else?
good, and you?

why so they are. Dave doesn't play the full barre chords in the song though.
