This song is fingerpick style only. No strumming is involved.
With practice, you can pick the individual notes in the instrumental break.
The tempo is kind of different. The instrumental break is actually faster than the sung verses and chorus. It starts at 92 BPM before reducing to 87 BPM when you start singing.
This song is not in the original key. The original key is C. This is my own personal "campfire" so to speak rendition of it, based on how I play it by ear.
This is NOT my song. All credit goes to Martin J. Nystrom, the original author of the song.
