This boy is on fire! One of my faves to come ouf ot the Flicker Sessions.
I'm not that great with melody so not to sure of the picking pattern but I will try
and see what I come up with. Other than that, Intro and Verse is just C#m and
B for (2) beats, E for a bar and then whenever it says A that's also one bar.
Everywhere else is all one bar for each chord save the A in the bridge,
play for one bar then hold for another.
Capo on 4th (transpose down 4) for C fingering postion which is what Niall plays,
but you can play open.
