Simpler is not better. Simpler is simpler. There are times to strive for simplicity and times to strive for accuracy: sometimes they are the same, but often they're not. This is the better tab as it's a more accurate reflection of the song it represents!
Put it this way: you can start with a tab that's "too hard" and then choose simpler chords for the bits that give you the most trouble, ending up with a better/more authentic version than the "simple" one. If you start with the simplified version, you don't *know* what the real chords are and can't make that choice. Well done to the tab author.

Some of it's right, but it looks like this Hippyshoota character was trying to hard.... I'll say it again, Version 1 is the correct one.

You guys are wrong. Simpler does not equal better. More accurate=better and this version is far more accurate. the only correction i have is that the cmin6 is actually a half diminished a7 chord
