I Like Birds by Eels - Guitar Chords

Version 1
            Song: I Like Birds
Artist: Eels
Album: Daisies of the Galaxy

On the last 4 chords(D,C,G,D) you do a half strum half pick, a sort of downwards pick.

Edit June 7th 2020: I've added a strum pattern which approximates the song but it's better to only use it as a
guide and listen to the song to get the exact feel.

*slap slap* = slap the guitar strings twice
*du-de-du* = whistle three times
