Considering that I haven't found any fully accurate tabs for this song, I'm submitting
one that is accurate exactly to the movie version. Hope someone finds it useful.

Note: All F chords in this song are */F, and have a low F note. I find it easiest to
Glen's style of playing and use my thumb on the first fret of the low E string for all
You will find it pretty much necessary on the Fadd9 chord in the chorus which requires 5 
unless you can manage to get your index finger to hold the first fret on all 6 strings.

Chords:
C - 01023X
Fadd9 - 310331
Am - 012200

(The ending is different as the piano carries the C D E D C D F E melody, not the
If you're playing without piano accompaniment, which is the more likely case, I'd suggest
the ending WITH the melody in the guitar, so basically the exact same as the into.)
