Let me guess. You saw them last night and wanna learn this song.
Well as that is the most popular case, I will tab this as the modern line up play it live.
It is extremely similar to the '73 version however.

Francis: Standard Tuned Telecaster capo 5th fret
Rick:  Standard Tuned Telecaster
Rhino:  Standard Tuned Tanglewood Telecaster capo 5th fret
Andy:  Standard Tuned Washburn Semi

I'll do a bit of everyone's part so that you get the idea...

Francis:
E MajorE|---------------------|
BB|---3---3---3---3---3-|
G+G|---------------------|
D MajorD|-0---0---0---0---0---|and so on...
A augmentedA|---------------------|
E MajorE|---------------------|

Then the band comes in

E MajorE|-1-1-1---1-1-1---1-1-1---1-1-1---|
BB|-3-3-3---3-3-3---3-3-3---3-3-3---|

Love it seems I just can't find
                FF G minorGm

D#D#             D MajorD
Seems that I'm the one love
          G minorGm
The one love left behind

                   FF G minorGm

    D#D#         D MajorD

SOLO

G minorGm            FF G minorGm
Women seem to pass me by
             FF G minorGm
Women seem to pass me by
  D#D#            D MajorD
If I could find the reason
           G minorGm
I'd know the answer why


G minorGm               FF G minorGm
Love it seems I just can't find
                FF G minorGm
Love it seems I just can't find
D#D#             D MajorD
Seems that I'm the one love
          G minorGm
The one love left behind
