Good tab, nearly perfect as far as I can tell :) To make it sound a bit better though: for the G in the verses, if you use a Gadd4 (320013) and move your finger on and off the B string, you can get the little tune he makes on the record.

Sounds real good. I like to play C/G in place of C as it just gives it a little bit richer, more Bon-ish sound (if I may). Good work.

you're absolutely right in that it's a little flat. for everyone out there, it's a quarter step down. i couldn't figure out why it sound so distant and icey, and thats why, its a half of a half step flat. thats my take at least :)
