Thumbing the baseline is important throughout the whole song.
If you listen to the recording, the chord changes move straight with
the guitar baseline and thats how I judged some of the chord changes I made.
In the verse, the low E descends on the first line and the
A descends on the second line, then goes back up to reset
for the third line, which goes down all the way from the A to the E.

Training jasmine how to vine up the arbor to your door, and more
You're standing on the landing with the war you shouldered all the night before

A barony of ivy in the trees, expanding out its empire by degrees

Heaven sent this cardinal maroon to decorate our living room
