IMPORTANT!!!!

The first thing you need to know about this song is that the guitar is tuned
down a half step. Therefore, E is E flat, A is A flat and so on. If you don't
want to tune your guitar down, then you'll just have to look up another version
which is probably wrong. The reason you need to tune your guitar down (if you
want to play the right note) is during the second verse of the song, you start
out like this:

e|---|
B|---|
G|---|
D|-2-|
A|-2-|
E|-0-|

If you want to play the right note, but don't want to tune your guitar down,
the tabs would turn out like this (if you try this, it WILL sound bad):

e|---|
B|---|
G|---|
D|-1-|
A|-1-|
E|-0-|

Here's the song:
