We have an official Gone Gone Gone tab made by UG professional guitarists.
Check out the tab
The other tab is great but he actually plays it in flat (half step down), no capo.
Just finally sat down and did this for you guys! I feel its a better challenge.

 Em7                 G                    Cadd9
    You're my back bone, you're my cornerstone
                                    (release the 2 on the Db string)
    You're my crutch when my legs stop moving
 Em7                 G                       Cadd9
    You're my head start, you're my rugged heart
                                    (release the 2 on the Db string)
    You're the pulse that I've always needed
 Cadd9       G          Em7           D
    Like a drum, baby, don't stop beating
 Cadd9       G          Em7           D
    Like a drum, baby, don't stop beating
 Cadd9       G          Em7           D
    Like a drum, baby, don't stop beating
 Cadd9       G          Em7           D (one strum to mute)
    Like a drum my heart never stops beating

Great Tab! Super close to how I play the interludes leading into Verse 2 and the bridge. For leading into Verse 2, on the recording I hear it going back to the open G, but you could also fret the G note on the 3rd fret 6th string and play the main riff that way. Interlude Ab |--------------------5-2p0---2p0(don't ring out) Eb |--------------------------3-------------|
