FINE DETAILS
------------
Basically you can use whatever chord positions you like.
For the unadventurous all barre chords or all open chords will suffice.
Hovever the following are my preferances for recreating the sound of this
subtle and beautiful piece.
In general a biting, trebly sound is desired - so pick viciously and emhasize
the treble strings. The intro should sound more mellow.
The chorus has a chord riff like this (stoccato)
The (D) is an optional passing note.
E E E E (D) C#m C#m C#m C#m (D) (repeat)
