Bridge:
NOTE: at this point the picking pattern changes a bit...
throw in this bit every couple of measures just for color..

(G)-----5---5-----5------5---5-----5--------------
(D)---5-------5--------5-------5------------------
(A)-3----------------3----------------------------
(E)-----------------------------------------------
Break: C x8 times
C C
all___ my___ sea___
C C

play the and sing the above 4 measures about 6 times and then try
to find a stylish way to end the song.
(you'll look silly trying to fade out like the song does)
*****Picking:
Dave Gavurin uses slighly different picking patterns throughout
the song, I've chosen the following one, it seems to work nicely.
(shown for the B and G chords)
B G(add C)
----------------------------------------------------------
-------4-----4--------------------------------------------
-----4---4-----4--------------5-----5---------------------
---4-------4----------------5---5-----5-------------------
-2------------------------5-------5-----------------------
------------------------3---------------------------------
fingers: T 1 2 3 2 1 3 2
T = Thumb (bass note of the chord)
1 = first finger
2 = second finger
3 = third finger
(of course, you can use a flatpick if you like)
*****Chords:
along with some chords i suggest some alternates to maximize the
use of open strings (and reduce hand fatigue)
