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!
