First Aid Kit - Universal Soldier
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
I haven't seen any tabs for First Aid Kit's spin on Universal Soldier yet, so I decided to attempt one.
It seems accurate to me but suggestions for improvement are welcome.
Standard tuning, capo 8th fret.
Here is the picking pattern in relation to the chords, repeat this for the entire song.
