Thank you for being the only person to get this right. I was about to start my own tab (until I found yours) because every other version on here requires capos and didn't sound right when I tried to play it. Then I watched Zac play it live and it's clear to see his capo on the end of his headstock and he's playing C, G, and a barred F. This makes it easier to play the add-on notes. If this sounds accurate to you feel free to add it to your version, otherwise I'll post it as an intro version. I would just hate to add yet another tab for this.

This is the gist of it, he seems to play it a little differently each time. Also in the verse he does a bass walkdown from the bass c note to B then A before picking through the G chord. I'm personally having a hard time mimmicking his picking style, it looks like he uses a pick and plucks the lower strings with his middle/ring fingers. Thanks again, cheers
Can you not edit posts on here? This sounds a bit closer:
