We have an official Gratitude tab made by UG professional guitarists.
Check out the tab
I am pretty sure the original uses either an alternate tuning or two guitars. This version is made to recreate
the guitar part on one guitar and keeping it as close to the original as possible.
 
PERFORMANCE TIPS:
1) You can use your LH thumb to play the bass notes in the G chord.
2) You can also play the D string to match the chord shapes, but having the unison between the 5th fret D
   string and the open G string creates that chorus effect and holds more true to the original.
3) You can fingerpick your way through as much of it eas feels good, but you can always begin strumming to
   make it more lively or to make it easier to play.
4) The [Bridge] section has 3 slightly different ways it gets played.
5) In the live version, the last section of the song just repeated the chords found in the final [Chorus']
   found at the bottom of this tab.

[Verse 1] (Fingerpicking from [Intro])
       G
All my words fall short
      Em7
I got nothing new
          Dadd4
How could I express

All my gratitude?
 
[Verse 2]
        G
I could sing these songs
     Em7
As I often do

And You never do
