For Good

Here's one from the musical "Wicked". Again this won't be an exact match with the piece I played on YouTube, but you can still use the video for reference.
Capo on 1st Fret
Standard Tuning

 Intro:

 (Starting from the 2nd verse, try a "happier"(?) style of playing - incorporate a few more strums and bass notes)

 It well may be...

    Hello!! I love this song and I've been trying to play it but I have a problem, my finger length is too small and I can not put my thumb like you do it. I am trying to play it without the thumb but it doesn't sound right. Do you have any tips for me or maybe a version without the thumb? Thank you very much! I love your version of the song, you did an amazing job!
