The alternate tuning is sort of optional for this song. The 6th string is really only used sometimes as a bass note between measures. You can leave it as an E if you don't mind losing that detail. You can also just use C instead of Cadd4. The Cadd4 is my personal preference. =] The picking pattern looks something like this for each chord: C (x32010@1) Cadd4 Em (022000@1) Fe|--------0-----|---------------|---------------|---------------| (133211@1)B|-----------1--|--------1------|--------0------|--------1------| G|------0-------|-----------0---|-----------0---|-----------2---| D|---2----------|-----3---------|-----2---------|-----3---------| A|--------------|--3------------|--2------------|--3------------| C|--------------|---------------|---------------|---------------| It's slightly different in some parts of the song, but this is the general pattern.
