Standard tuning w/o capo, 4/4 measure.
This is my attempt at tabbing out the acoustic version John played on the toilet. It's
not 100% but it should do.
Lyrics are from songmeanings.net (they are inaccurate, I know), all rights belong to the
pAper chAse of course.

chords used:
Am (x02210@1)     x02210
Asus2    x02200
F        x3321x (not A bar chord)
Fadd11   x3320x
C (x32010@1)      x32010
Cm7      x32000
G        3x0003 (that's the way he plays it)
Em (022000@1)     022000
Fm       x3311x (may be a bit tricky, you can play it as a bar chord)
"G1"     3xxxxx
"A"     x0xxxx

intro
Am-Asus2-Am
F-Fadd11-F
C-Cm7-C
GThese (320003@1)chords inbetween (Asus2, Fadd11, C7M) are played by simply releasing the first
fret on the B string ("Congleton's" F allows that). This theme is later repeated in the
chorus etc. where he played just Am-F-C-G, but you can play it the same way as the intro 
if your coordination is good enough.
