Use a clean, compressed strat tone for this tune 

The intro and verses consist of:

PART 1

e|--9--9--12-12-7-7-1010---------------|
B|--10-10-10-10-8-8-8-8--7-7-7-7-7-7-7-|
G|-----------------------7-7-7-7-7-7-7-|
D|-------------------------------------|
A|-------------------------------------|
E|-------------------------------------|

PART 2

e|--5-5-5-5-5-5-5-5-2-2-2-2--|
B|--7-7-7-7-5-5-5-5-3-3-3-3--|
G|---------------------------|
D|---------------------------|
A|---------------------------|
E|---------------------------|

The verses are: 
PART 1 x3
PART 2 x2
PART 1 x3
PART 2 x2

The intro is simply half of that

The chorus is played on a keyboard with a pan flute setting,
I've tabbed it out too for those of you who want to play it
on keyboard or maybe even guitar (try both and see which sounds
better)

I've tabbed this out using the same rhythm as the verse part
just to make it easier. If you're playing it on guitar, you might
wanna try arpeggiating it (ie. alternating between the B and G
string)
