I absolutely adore this song, so I felt it necessary to attempt a tab for this song, and with chords for people like myself who find it easier to play and sing using chords. I hope I've done a decent job. Please pay attention to the chord tab, I know it's easy to play the shapes as if you were in standard but bear in mind you are in drop D.
