N.B. Alun plays harmonics on the first 4 bars while Cat plays the Bouzouki style
intro riff.
Intro:
(G) (D7) (G) (G) (D7) (G)
E |-----------------------|---------------------------|

D |-----------------------|---------------------------|
A |-----------------------|---------------------------|
E |-----------------------|---------------------------|
(* Harmonics)
In the breaks and also verses 1, 4, 7 and 10, Alun fingerpicks a quick G to G4 pattern
(shown below), throughout the whole of these verses,and also whenever Cat is playing
the G to D7 pattern, at the end of all the other verses.
Play the G chord shape and then add the suspended 4th with the little finger.
Use the Thumb to pick the D & G strings,and Ring/Middle fingers to pick the B & E
strings.
G Gsus4 G
E|--------3--------3--------3-----|
B|----3--------3--------3-----3---|
G|------4--------5--------4-----4-|
D|--5--------5--------5-----------|
A|--------------------------------|
E|--------------------------------|
In verses 2 & 3, 5 & 6, 8 & 9, and 10 to 12, Alun uses the same style picking
moved up to a C chord:
C Csus4 C
E |----------8-----------8----------8---|
B |-----8----------8-----------8--------|
G |--------9----------10----------9-----| (x3)
D |--10---------10----------10----------|

Then this bar is a link:
Am D7
E |--------------5-----------------5----|
B |-------5-----------------7-----------|
G |-----------5----------------5--------|
D |----7----------------7---------------|

E |-------------------------------------|
Then back to the G to G4 picking pattern...
