Ended up adapting from Andrea Von Kampen's and go with a very specific picking:
1+4 - 2 3 - 4 3 2. Where - are breaks. this, for each chord.

exception are there last Am - G - C, where I with just 1+4 - 2 3 for Am and G.

By far the best sounding and straightforward tab of it around here! Ideas for Fingerpicking?
