At least this person tabbed the entire song.

This version may be passable for beginners but it's missing all the subtlety of the actual chords from the song. Play these intro chords and then play G6-A6-D and you'll see one example. On the verses, try Em7 instead of Em, A7sus and A7 instead of A, then Dmaj7 instead of D. It makes a world of difference.
