Downfall

This song is in D-Standard Tuning (D-G-C-F-A-d). It basically repeats the same chords throughout the song 
using Travis Picking. Use your thumb to pluck the A and D strings (tuned to G and C), and then your index 
finger for the G string (tuned to F) and your middle finger for the B string (tuned to A). So, the pattern 
is always: Thumb - Index - Thumb - Middle
