NOTE: these are Robert's acoustic parts. I didn't tab
out the electric parts from the album version of the song.
This tab is arranged for a solo acoustic.
My advice would be to improvise for the electric parts
if you plan to cover this song, as Robert dubs his own
lead parts over his rhythm riffs with the same acoustic
in album version, and the electrics are then layered
over top of the acoustic layers.
Also, the electric lead figures are played as accents to
to Robert's acoustic accents that he dubs over his rhythm
riff, this way you will be able to maintain a unique sound.

That's pretty much it, kids. You can figure out the structure by listening to the song
put together you're own version. Besides, that's how good covers are made ;) Enjoy.
