*Disclaimer this is my first tab addition to the website.
It is my version for guitar, it works great but is not what is used in the original.
They use Capo on 1st with these exact chords. Feel free to do that if you want.

*For the first verse I fingerpick (as shown) because it leads from the intro 
easier, but you can strum as well.
Do quick, short, downward strums and stops. You can listen to the song for the right rhythm.
