Brown Eyed Girl, Guitar Two part on mandolin

[d1willis]

So the office summer picnic is coming up this weekend and a "House Band" is tuning up. I transposed some tab from Ultimate <that other stringed instrument> to try to put together the Guitar 2 line from Brown Eyed Girl. I'm sure some of you all are playing this now and again, any tips?
