The song is supposed to be played with a capo on the 2nd fret but it sounds just
as good with no capo so it's up to you,
I figured this out from the vid of Tomas playing this live on youtube: http://

He varies between strummed and arpegiated chords but it sounds fine if you just
play the bass note of the chord before strumming if that makes sense.
I'm quite sure this is all correct but if you spot a mistake leave a comment and I'll sort it out.
