This is how he plays it live, solo, plus the cello intro transposed as right as I could get it in standard.
I got most of this from listening to live versions of the song; few if any tabs out there are right but I'd bet
this one is closest. Enjoy, and please comment.

Cello intro, plucked. Transposed for guitar, palm mute guitar for effect
(This is close. Certainly missing the low C seventh note, I play the same C as the sixth note or an open E)
