I like to play the stanzas going up and down on the chords:
[Example]
Bm D
e|-------2-----------2------|
B|-----3---3-------3---3----|
G|---4-------4---2-------2--|
D|-4-----------0------------|
A|--------------------------|
E|--------------------------|
Then strum the chords when at the chorus.
[Intro]
G G D Em D Em A
e|-3--3--2--0--------------|
B|-0--0--3--0--3--0--2-----|
G|-0--0--2--0--2--0--2-----| x2
D|-------------0--2--2-----|
A|-------------------------|
E|-------------------------|

Best version out there, sounds like the real thing.
For anybody wanting a video, here is Andrew Farriss performing the song at his home: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TnD0rln4yBM

The bass is what really gives this song it’s depth and soulful feel.
