You can repeat these chord patterns for the rest of the song. The finger picking/strumming pattern I tend to mix up a little. I’m not much of a finger picker, so my guitar work is not very precise! You can make up your own patterns, play it the way feels right to you. You could also play it with a pick/plectrum. Experiment and see what you prefer.

Hope these tabs help, and thanks for all the positive feedback on the YouTube video!
