NOTE: When I play this song I play the G and Cadd9 chords this
   way. If you want to you can play just a regular G and C
   chord as well. The sound you hear played throughout the
   song especially the Intro is based on the picking pattern.
   I have tried to show that below this tab. Please look
   there if you need help with that.

===================== *** PICKING PATTERN *** =====================

NOTE: Someone asked me how to get the sound Brandy Clark is getting
   in the INTRO and other places in the song. It is not easy for
   me to show this since I mainly just play it naturally
   without actually thinking how I do play it. When I slow it down
   to see my fingers it throws me off some. But to try and help
   those out that need it here is my attempt to show it. If someone
   can show this better please just email me, message me here or
   Leave a comment. DO NOT submit it as a correction.
