Standard Tuning - Capo 3rd Fret

Basically I just finger pick the chords until the chorus, which I strum, 
in the actually song there are two guitars one is picking individual notes,
 the other strumming. I think it sounds pretty good throughout if you pick
 bass note with your thumb and and alternate to the 4th and 5th strings like:

e
b   0   0   1   1
g   0   0   2   2
d
a         0   0 
E 3   3

Chords used:

G:    320003
Am:   x02210
C:    x32010
D/F*: x5306x
F:    1332xx

England gets the ones you never need
I'm in a Los Angeles cathedral
Minor singing airheads sing for me
