## 2. Hybrid Version (Strumming + Fingerstyle)

### Fingerstyle Picking Pattern (For Intro/Verses):
- Pick **C, E, A** strings in this sequence: **C, E, A, E**.
- Try this with each chord for a delicate, dreamy sound.

Example on **Cmaj7**:
```
G|--------
C|--0-----
E|----0---
A|------2-
```

### Hybrid Arrangement:
#### Intro:
```
Cmaj7                F
G|--------0-------|--------0-------|
C|--0-------------|--2-------------|
E|----0-----------|----1-----------|
A|------2---------|------0---------|

G                  Am
G|--------2-------|--------0-------|
C|--0-------------|--2-------------|
E|----3-----------|----0-----------|
A|------2---------|------0---------|
```

#### Verse:

Strum lightly while occasionally plucking individual notes. Example:
```
Cmaj7              F
Remember how it used to be
G                      Am
When the sun would fill up the sky
```
Strumming:
```
Cmaj7 (Down-Down-Up) 
F (Light strum, add E-string pluck)
G (Down-Up-Up)
Am (Light strum)
```

#### Chorus:
Strum more fully to emphasize the build-up:
```
F             G
To wish impossible things
Dm            Am
To wish impossible things
```
You can finish each line with a pluck of the **A string** on the chord root note (e.g., open A for F).

That should give you two great ways to approach this beautiful song. The hybrid version lets you mix strumming and picking for an expressive, textured sound. Let me know if you'd like further tweaks!
