My tip is to try fingerpick this song - just arpagiate the chords.
I orniment the 1st Em chord in the Intro so that it follows the melody
of the song -- (022000 022002 022003 022002 022000 022002 022003)
Then I play the D-Chord that follows & orniment that by hammering on
the high E-string-2>3>2 (x00232>3>2) before the C-chord
