I recommend using the tab ver3 by PJVillanueva for the chorus, 
which is closest to the structure I used when figuring this tune
out. Also all chorus repetitions are omitted from this tab. You?ll
have to use the recording to piece it all together. I?m simply an
intermediate player, transcriber and beginner tabber so improvements
are likely/welcome. I?ve separated the phrases, not sure about the
timing.
