This is how i play the song, i think it is pretty close if not perfect, i use the same riffs and variations in
the other parts of the song that aren't tabbed here.. hope it helps!! (i figured this out in a day, the more i
play the song the more ill pick up on things i have missed, but since i have not seen a tab for this song any-
where i thought i would at least give people something to work off!) if i have made any mistakes or you have a
better way to play it, please let me know :) it's a great song, that deserves to be played!!
Whole song is finger picked.

With a soldier's eyes - I'm going off the chords i have read in other tabs here on this site (give credit for
chord structure to those tabs), using the same finger picking motion & technique i add
Em then to Am & so on.., hope that helps! This comes in after the 2nd Chorus:
