Tuning: Half step down but this transcription is for standard tuning
INTRO:
In the record there are 3 guitars playing together but if you make a mix of strums
and plucks of the sequence: C G A D, it will sound nice even with a single guitar.

Always do small variations like more plucking or strumming, just practice and
learn what sounds good.
The above can be played twice or alternatively instead to repeat it you can play
the below solo made with a second guitar in the original record:

The secret here is to variate between plucking and strumming that's why I wrote
down the plucking part together with chords and rhythm pattern.
Just to give an example of a sequence I marked with P the plucks and S the strums,
you can add more plucks or strums depending if you want to emphasize more or less the verse.

Verse 2
I sit here on the stairs
'Cause I'd rather be alone
If I can't have you right now I'll wait, dear
Sometimes I get so tense
But I can't speed up the time
But you know, love there's
One more thing to consider
Chorus
Said woman take it slow
And thing will be just fine
You and I'll just use a little patience
Said sugar take the time
'Cause the lights are shining bright
You and I've got what it takes to make it
We won't fake it... ahh and never break it... cause I can't take it...
