So I've made a tab for this song before, but later decided to delete it, because that 
tab was really long and complicated (it was my first UG tab :)). Here is a much simpler 
and straightforward tab for the song.

Main chord progression: G A C C,
                        G A C C,
                        G A D Am,
                        C C G G

Solo (0:54-2:20) (this might seem really complicated at first btw, but if
                  you follow it through, it makes sense)

Verse:

G            A         C          C
You know the way to my enemies,
G             A          C          C
You keep your eyes on my enemies,
G          A          D          Am      C      C     G    G
Calling me backwards, stringing along my heart  (that way)
G              A         C          C
You're on your way to my enemies,
G             A        C          C
You're moving in on my memories,
G          A     D           Am       C     C    G    G
Calling me over, taking this heart of mine     (away)
