Basically I just finger pick the chords until the chorus, which I strum,
in the actually song there are two guitars one is picking individual notes,
the other strumming. I think it sounds pretty good throughout if you pick
bass note with your thumb and and alternate to the 4th and 5th strings like:
e
b 0 0 1 1
g 0 0 2 2
d
a 0 0
E 3 3

Can someone send a runner
For a guardian a runner
For the guardian I lost today?
Can someone send a runner
For the guardian I lost today?
Can someone send a runner
For a guardian a runner
For the guardian I lost today?
Can someone send a runner
For the guardian I lost today?
You must be somewhere in London
You must be lovin' the life in the rain
You must be somewhere in London
Go and marry
