Notes: I don't promise that this is 100% correct but it's a decent outline. The picking pattern isn't hard to figure so I didn't write it out here. Just toy with the top two strings because that's where most of the action is. She only slides up the the 13th fret on the F (b) string in some of the new versions she plays so I just thought I'd throw it in there so you can decide what you want to do. Feel free to leave updates or suggestions.
