Picking pattern for each chord is essentially repeated throughout the song. She deviates sometimes on the
higher strings. What is important for the flavour of the song is to follow the order of plucking on the
bassier strings. The pattern below is an example of a Verse, just apply the same patterns to the Chorus
(including for D and Dm).

Am x4:

Verse 1:

Am    E
Shape shifter
E                F
Thousands in the air
F         C     G
Moving as o-o-o-one
Am               E
Magic flocks the reaches
E                     F
I'm speechless on the ground
F                      C         G
Black blizzard round a cold grey sun

Winter's on the way
F                   C       G
I think we're gonna make it out

If we stick together now
D                    Dm
If we stick together now

Am       E
Too many times we fight
E                F
Turning day into night
F            C          G
Kicking that fire right out
G       Am          E
But the coals under-neath they burn
E                 F
I turn to you and find
F               C     G
I love the very one I spurned

If we stick together now
