Here is what I beleive to be the correct picking technique for the song.  The chords you
need to know are Am, C, D, F and E.  The order they appear in is as follows:  Am, C, D,
F, Am, E, Am, E.  These chords repeat throughuot the whole song in that order without 
stop.  Here is the tab technique.

Play the root note of all the chords and let it ring out.  Then simply play an up-down
arpeggio on the chords, but I only play the root note and the bottom 3 notes on certain
chords, as follows:

Am (x02210@1)           C (x32010@1)              D (xx0232@1)            FE-----------0----------------0--------------2--------------1--------| (133211@1)B---------1---1------------1---1----------3---3----------1---1------|
G-------2-------2--------2-------2------2-------2------2-------2----|
D-------------------------------------0~-------------3~-------------|
A----0~---------------3~--------------------------------------------|
E-------------------------------------------------------------------|



Am (x02210@1)            E (022100@1)             Am (x02210@1)             EE-----------0---------------0----------------0--------------0------| (022100@1)B---------1---1-----------0---0------------1---1----------0---0----|
