I noticed another tab on here but I didn't think it was quite right so I thought I would take a crack at it.
I think it's these four main chords:

F/C             G/D              E/B            D/A (open)
|---1----|      |---1----|       |--------|     |--------|
|--------|      |--------|       |--------|     |--------|
|--------|      |--------|       |--------|     |--------|
|---3----|      |---5----|       |---2----|     |---0----|
|---3----|      |---5----|       |---2----|     |---0----|
|---3----|      |---5----|       |---2----|     |---0----|

When dropping to the D/A (open) chord I recommend playing down a half step quickly after the F/C chord.
Like this:

F/C             F/C(half)        D/A(open)
|---1----|      |--------|       |--------|
|--------|      |--------|       |--------|
|--------|      |--------|       |--------|
|---3----|      |---0----|       |---0----|
|---3----|      |---0----|       |---0----|
|---3----|      |---2----|       |---0----|

Then, when switching between the D/A and E/B chord part I also recommend playing the half step quickly.
I'm 90% positive I remember seeing him play it like this live.
So this part would look like:

D/A(open)       D/A(half)       E/B
|--------|      |--------|      |--------|
|--------|      |--------|      |--------|
|--------|      |--------|      |--------|
|---0----|      |---0----|      |---2----|
|---0----|      |---0----|      |---2----|
|---0----|      |---1----|      |---2----|

Repeat this forward and then back.

Just remember the D/A(half) and F/C(half) chords are played VERY quickly.
I usually only play the 6th string (Low D) when playing them.
I tried and match the each chord with the lyrical timing but if you listen to the song you'll probably get it.
I hope this makes sense:


     F/C                   G/D
Success for my buddy, success for my friend
 E/B                 F/C             F/C(half)
Success is the only thing I understand
 D/A          D/A(half)E/B         D/A(half)
Head back home to the place I grew up
D/A                D/A(half)  E/B
Give my pedals to the         ones that I love
F/C                           G/D
I'll chase Harvey through the door in the wall; he says
E/B                   F/C           F/C(half)
never catch me, never miss me at all
D/A              D/A(half)E/B
Drool comes down from the corner of his mouth
D/A(half)E/B        D/A(half)E/B
I say    I love you Harvey   you cut it out.

F/C                  G/D
I love winning baby, I want it all
E/B                F/C          F/C(half)
I wanna prove that I got the ball.
D/A           D/A(half)E/B                  D/A(half)
Harvey keeps on       playing with his food;
D/A                     D/A(half)E/B
he doesn't understand what       big boys do.

F/C                G/D
He wakes up in the middle of the night
E/B          F/C               F/C(half)
I run in and turn on the light.
D/A               D/A(half)E/B             D/A(half)
Run my hands through his   short black hair,
D/A        D/A(half)E/B
I love you Harvey   I don't care.


Then just repeat the F/C , G/C , and E/B chords and do whatever vocally (oohs and what not).

This was my first tab, I hope it helps anyone.
Alex G is great!
