Miranda Lambert varies the way she picks each chord. That will take a little
improv or you could play
just the chords, or follow the basic style that each finger picking section is based
off of which I have
tabbed right here. Make sure you use the chords the way they are written here because
the low 
E MajorE string is now a D.
