But in the 'official' version, it is fingerpicked and muted as it is seen below.
The xxxxxxx means that you have to mute the strings by hitting them with your fingers.
To me it works the best if I the three highest strings with the three fingers wich
I use for picking them. This gives a more smooth motion.

        B               F#             E              E
e|-----7--x--7--|----9--x--9---|-----7--x--7--|-----7--x--7--|
B|-----7--x--7--|----10-x--10--|-----9--x--9--|-----9--x--9--|
G|-----8--x--8--|----10-x--10--|-----9--x--9--|-----9--x--9--|
D|--------x-----|-------x------|--------x-----|--------x-----|
A|--------x-----|--9----x------|--7-----x-----|--7-----x-----|
E|--7-----x-----|-------x------|--------x-----|--------x-----|

These three chords are repeated all the way through the song.


The 'youtube-version' has a part with some kind of flute in the chrous, and this
can be played on guitar like this:

e|------------------------|
B|-----7--9------9--7--0--|
G|--9---------------------|
D|------------------------|
A|------------------------|
E|------------------------|

            or

e|------------------------|
B|-----7--9------9--7-----|
G|--9---------------------|
D|---------------------9--|
A|------------------------|
E|------------------------|

If you play this with the other part it would be like this:

        B               F#             E              E
e|-----7--x--7--|----9--x--9---|-----7--x--7--|---------------|
B|-----7--x--7--|----10-x--10--|-----9--x--9--|----7-9--9-7-0-|
G|-----8--x--8--|----10-x--10--|-----9--x--9--|--9------------|
D|--------x-----|-------x------|--------x-----|---------------|
A|--------x-----|--9----x------|--7-----x-----|---------------|
E|--7-----x-----|-------x------|--------x-----|---------------|


When you play the song it sounds nice to play the melody for the part where Bruno
sings 'Nothing at all...'

e|--------------------|
B|--9-----------7-----|
G|--------9---------9-|
D|--------------------|
A|--------------------|
E|--------------------|
   No - thing  at  all


Of course, this part can also be put together with the rest:

        B               F#             E              E
e|-----7--x--7--|----9--x--9---|-----7--x--7--|--------------|
B|-----7--x--7--|----10-x--10--|-----9--x--9--|--9-----7-----|
G|-----8--x--8--|----10-x--10--|-----9--x--9--|-----9-----9--|
D|--------x-----|-------x------|--------x-----|--------------|
A|--------x-----|--9----x------|--7-----x-----|--------------|
E|--7-----x-----|-------x------|--------x-----|--------------|
