Structure: P1 P2 P1 P1 P2 P1 P3 P4 P5 P2 P1...

for the right hand fingering you have two choices:
1) either the alternance of middle finger (on the beat) and index finger (upbeat)
This is the fingering typically used in blues picking.
2) or either one finger dedicated to each lower string:
Index finger for the G+G string,
Middle finger for the BB string,
Ring finger for the e string.


Note the bass on the upbeat (instead of on the beat) in the second bar of the chord.
This gives a special pulsation to the song.
