Christmas Lights Fingerpicking

Hey, I was wondering if anybody can help me with this? I'm relatively new to guitar (~ 8 months), and I can't work out the fingerpicking to Christmas Lights? I'm pretty sure I've got the chords nailed, as found here: http://tabs.ultimate-guitar.com/c/coldplay/christmas_lights_ver2_crd.htm but I'm really struggling to get the fingerpicking right, as found here:

And on all the YouTube Christmas Lights covers. If anybody can help me regarding what strings to pick, or if anybody knowns where a tab is, I would be very grateful. Thanks!

This guy has a little better version of fingering, and also a short tab included in the description:
