If anyone's struggling with x/y chords, remember that you position your fingers like the chord at x, but change it so that the bass (lowest) note of the chord to be played is y. When you look at, for instance, the A/C# chord, you might not be able to reach as far as the suggested bass note (C#) playing the usual chord, so rather start from positioning to the barre chord of x. Sorry if you already know that and had to read it, but as a beginner learning to play I really wished there were comment that said things like this at the bottom of these songs, haha.

Great tab, though I play it in Drop D so that I can play the bass riff through the first verse: D|--5--5-4-5--5-4-5--5-0-4-0-4-| This means I play the G chord as a G5: 5x0033 and give the D chord more bottom end: 000232
