This song starts on the chorus and the intro picking pattern is played through it,
except you leave out the little slide on the A chord for each chorus.
At the end of each chorus, the A is strummed instead of picked, to lead into the
Am at the start of the verse. It's strummed like this:
A Am
e|...---------0---0--0-0--0-0---0--0-0--0-0--...
B|...---------2---2--2-2--2-2---2--2-2--2-1--...
G|...-----0---2---2--2-2--2-2---2--2-2--2-2--etc.
D|...---0---0-2---2--2-2--2-0h2-2--2-2--2-2--...
A|...-2-------0---0--0-0--0-0---0--0-0--0-0--...
