Below is the tab for the first verse and chorus. Repeat for the other verses.
Then play the turn around and repeat the chorus. I play the chord where I mark
them on the song. You can play any chord-notes you want there.
 
I try to keep my fingers as close to the chord positions and its easier
and faster to play the notes. This can be played without any back up too.

Great job on this song. It takes some time to get used to the figuring patterns, but once I got it down it sounded just like the song. Thanks a lot for doing this.
