This is not exactly how they play it in the original version but it's somewhere between
the original and an
easy version of this song.
 
I have not transcribed the whole intro but instead from the Am part.
The chords here are pretty accurate to what they play I believe and only playing them on
their own will
sound OK.
In the original version they have three guitars and I did add a simplified tablature
with what I believe is
fairly close to what the lead guitar plays. Again, it's not exactly what they play but
sounds good enough.
 
If someone has the time and energy to write tablature for the whole song then please be
my guest. Also,
as you can see, I only wrote the intro as tabs but the same finger picking pattern is
pretty much the same
throughout so just keep the same picking pattern for the chorus too.
 
PS. I've only written a shortened version of the outro.
