This is a general guide for the song.
 
The guitar in the original recording is not tuned to the standard 440 Hz. So you will need to tune your guitar
to 432 Hz to play along with the track. I did a cover of this a while ago which could be useful for a guide
(although I don't play he exact same thing as the original recording):
