I was trying to learn this song and found so many terrible tabs online that I decided to fire one up myself. It is also impossible to keep up with what chords change when during which verse without visibly seeing the differences. The strum is consistent throughout, listen to the record.
Capo VI or VII - guitar on the record is tuned to Open D, but way sharp
