The finger picking pattern is easy enough to figure out, it has an ascending
bassline at certain parts, which are marked in the brackets. At the end of
the whistling part, start slowing down at last D and let the A ring out. If
you have any criticisms or corrections, feel free to comment. Have fun, I
sure did trying to figure it out!

But for better or for worse

Whether whispering secrets, or shouting 'till my voice is hoarse

And all the lost debates
