We have an official Like Gold tab made by UG professional guitarists.
Check out the tab
just some general corrections and streamlining, included the lyrics and chords for simplicity.
i prefer to play it on capo 2, but thats just for my voice so hey its up to you
 
for the bridge, try to keep your fingers on the fretboard and slide up, rather than removing them, cause this
allows for a nicer transition between the chords, in a sort of slide
