The picking is fairly random and you can pick up the general idea just by listening to the song.
Something like this works for the verse:
e------------------|-----------------|
B--------0---------|-----------------|
G----9-------9-----|-------5-------6-|
D------9---9-----9-|---6-------7-----|
A--------------7---|-----------------|
E--0---------------|-4---4---5---5---|
And the chorus is like this:
e------------------|-----------------|-----------------|-----------------|
B--------0---------|-------0---------|-------0---------|-------0---------|
G----6-------6-----|---8-------8-----|---9-------9-----|---6-------6-----|
D------7---7-----7-|-----9---9-----7-|-----9---9-----9-|-----6---6-----6-|
A--------------7---|-------------7---|-7-----------7---|-4-----------4---|
E--5---------------|-7---------------|-----------------|-----------------|
