*Verse A: The strumming pattern changes at various places throughout the song. Most the
time it's the same as above,
but just listen for it and you'll be fine. Repeats for different lengths throughout the
song. Usually its x2.
 
*Verse B: Usually repeats twice. Occasionally the fill gets played at the end of Verse B.
Again, just listen for it. The song ends on this.
 
*Verse C: The intro gets played again at about 1:10 in the song. Just gets played once.

This tab is definitely the most correct. I've seen lots of other tabs and edits in comments, and its hard to get the exact sound of the song just from tab because there is so much fringe improvision that you have to pick out by ear, but this tab will help you get it the best.

I've been listening to the song closely, and this definitely sounds the most accurate. To me at least.
