It's probably easiest to just listen to the song and finger pick within the chords
above(don't hit the strings with "x"). When I play it, I often change it up every time
if
stick to the 3 strings in the chord, any combo should sound pretty decent compared to
actual song.
Here is a "sample" picking patter for the first chord in the song just to get a feeling:
e-------------------------------------|
B-------------------------------------|
G--------0---------------0------------| Repeat until chord change
D----0-------0---0---0-------0---0----|
A-------------------------------------|
E--3---3---3---3---3---3---3---3------|
