Nota Bene: 
Throughout the song play the chords quite softly but emphasise the sounds towards 
the higher end, the B and high E mainly, this creates the hollow sound Scott uses 
in the song.

When the tab denotes an F chord, play it as an F/E Major chord, so basically don't 
play the root notes on either of the E strings.
