Romeo & Juliet Mark Knopfler on guitar

[akagilligan]

Been in lessons a couple years. I've looked at Justin's intro (but I'm unsure on the chord changes/repeating the pattern) and a few off the ultimateguitar.com app. I'm having a heck of a time making the fingerpicking sound right, but I want to dig in and get this one tight. Some are alt tuning capo 3 and others are capo 5. So far

Any help on the fingerpicking pattern and a suggested tab would be much appreciated.

The original is in open G tuning with capo on 3.

Here's tab for the intro, which is basically the same 2-bar loop, played 4 times, with variations. (Capo fret counts as 0.)

The 6-string arpeggios are played with thumb on strings 6-5-4, and index-middle-ring on strings 3-2-1.
The 2nd fret barres in bars 4 and 8 are semi-strummed, as are a few of the open chords.
