Couldn't find the lyrics anywhere, so this is my best guess at the words. Sorry
if I messed up a couple.
Also, I don't know the official chord names.
From what I've seen, they play it in standard tuning either open or capo 1st fret.
Tab was based on this performance (no capo): http://www.youtube.com/watch?
