We have an official Let It Go tab made by UG professional guitarists.
Check out the tab
This is exactly how James Bay plays this song on guitar.
 
The tab was created from his tutorial that he uploaded here https://youtu.be/rkILJgqbo08
But in the video he forgot to tell some details that you can find in this tab.
 
Tune down a whole step.
 
The intro and verse are the same repeating pattern.
To play faster and to get the timing I suggest you count (1 2 3, 1 2 3, 1 2)
as I showed it on top of the first pattern.
 
Lyrics timings under the patterns are put exactly the same as in the song.
Consider paying attention to CAPS.
