The picking pattern is very counterintuitive. Follow it slowly and closely until you get the hang of it.
Tuning is standard except the B string is tuned down one full step to A

version 4
READ THIS, TUNING INFOS:
Well...long time that I don’t work on KOC tabs,and after that I saw a performance I
out the 100% exactly parts of both guitars.This is the record version correct. Eirik uses a
guitar with a strange tuning with the second string in “A” and not in “B”.
Erlend uses a standard tuning on both acoustic and electric parts.
Let’s start with Eirik main riff.
Eirik :Nylon Guitar (see tuning info).
Intro and Verse /Main theme : ("repeats" could be with slight differences trough the song).
REPEAT X3 THEN:
E||-----------0---------------0--------|---------0-------------0---------||
A||------8-------8--------------0------|-----8-----8-------------0-------||
G||*-------0-------0-----7-------------|-------0-----0----7--------------||
D||*----------0---------------0------0-|---------0-------------0---------||

-------0-----0----0------------|-------0-----0----0------------|
---------3-----------3---3-----|---------3-----------3---3-----|

In this chord hold on fingers 2nd,3rd and move only the 4th.
X3 then:
E||-----------0---------------0--------|---------0-------------0---------||
A||------8-------8--------------0------|-----8-----8-------------0-------||

After the bridge , Eirik doesn’t play.
then Eirik repeat with the main theme until the end:
“ ...everything is new...”

Even though I'll never need her
Even though she's only giving me pain
I'll be on my knees to feed her
Spend a day to make her smile again
Even though I'll never need her
Even though she's only giving me pain
As the world is soft around her
Leaving me with nothing to disdain
Even though I'm not her minder
Even though she doesn't want me around
I am on my feet to find her
To make sure that she is safe and sound
Even though I'm not her minder
Even though she doesn't want me around
I am on my feet to find her
To make sure that she is safe from harm
The sun sets on the war
The day breaks and everything is new
The sun sets on the war
The day breaks and everything is new
Everything is new
Everything is new
Everything is new
The sun sets on the war
The day breaks and everything is new
