Maybe you'll find someone else to help you.

I transposed it down 2 and I play the bottom 3 strings and it sounds great. sounds very similar to the song. strung the "and the science gets done" section and go back to finger picking the C and F

I like to do it with tabs using these chords. It's pretty easy to do it that way: you keep the same chords, and only use the C, E, and A strings. The pattern is CEAECEAE, and I repeat that for each chord until the chorus, where I simply use CEAE. Hope this helps if you would rather use tabs! :D
