(NOTES)

1) when a chord is followed by a !, it means that you do not strum the chord
but instead you play it in one quick downward motion.
2) when a chord is followed by a *, it means that the chord has to be plucked.
the plucking pattern is given below

(PLUCKING PATTERN)

The plucking progression for Dm, Am and G goes like this

   Dm     Am     G
e|---1-----|---0-----|------------|
B|-----3---|-----1---|-----3------|
G|-2-----2-|-2-----2-|-0-----0----|
D|-0-------|-2-------|-0-------0--|
A|-0-------|-0-------|-2----------|
E|-0-------|-0-------|-3----------|

Or this

  Dm     Am     G
e|---------|---------|---------|
B|-6-6-----|-5-5-----|-5-5-----|
G|-7---7---|-5---5---|-4---4---|
D|-7-----5-|-7-----7-|-5-----5-|
A|-5-------|-7-------|-5-------|
E|---------|-5-------|-3-------|

The whistling bit can be played on the guitar but it doesn't sound too good.

e|----------------------------|
B|----0-1--1-1-------0-1-3-1--|
G|--2----------2-2-2----------|x2
D|----------------------------|
A|----------------------------|
E|----------------------------|

 The Dm,Am,G plucking is immediately picked up after the last note.

e|-----0-1-0---------------------|
B|-1-3---------------------------|
G|-------------------------------|
D|-------------------------------|
A|-------------------------------|
E|-------------------------------|
