First time listening through and I've seen other tabs are lacking in accuracy.
As there isn't any guitar it's kind of hard to pick up but typically this song
sticks in Am with some variations.
For the verse you can consider just sticking with Am but if you want
to add in the classic bass line which switches between A and G you
can simply use your pinky to quickly fret the G on the low E string.
The beauty of this simple movement is it also acts as a mute for the
A string when your pinky extends down to the low E.
Listen for the placement of that G on the bass. Once you've got it
you can start to add some funk strumming in there for a more
natural groove.

The bridge I call a bridge because they use the same chord structure
as in the chorus except instead of changing chords every half bar it's
extended to a full bar for each chord progression.
The chorus is fairly straight forward, just listen for the keyboard
switching that single note which gives a different variation of the Am chord.
Good Luck! - Lou
