NOTE! No two verses are alike in this song. Every verse has it's own little variations.  
difference that should not be left out is that in verses 1,4 and 5, the 2nd chord in the  
is a D based chord but in verses 2 and 3 it's a C, this is not a mistake! 
I haven't tabbed every strum, just the embelishments and a suggestion of the chords that  
be strummed in between. 
I could only fit the words that occur on changes beneath the tab!
