NOTE: When I play this song I play the 
G+G and 
Cadd9Cadd9 chords this
way. If you want to you can play just a regular G+G and 
C majorC
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.
