Possibility Days

G Em C D Cmaj7 A

There is one moment in the first Pre-Chorus where the mandola plays an A (octave), but For the rest of the song that part is played as a D. That octave also sounds good as a 5th If you feel so inclined (I think it's easier). It makes for a slightly jarring transition, But it makes it quite satisfying when the song falls into the predicted I-V-VI-IV pattern.

Dan fingerpicks this song. I have tabbed out the intro because it gives a pretty good Representation of the pattern and variations he uses throughout the song. The bass is Played by alternating the thumb between the lowest and second lowest string every 1/4 Note.
