The TAB for this might look a bit daunting at first, but it's based on pretty straight forward chord shapes. The only chords you need are these : EADGBE EADGBE EADGBE EADGBE EADGBE 332010 002213 022003 320033 353333 C/G Am7/E Em G Gm7 EADGBE EADGBE EADGBE EADGBE EADGBE 353335 575655 131213 131114 224432 Gm9 A7 F9 Fm7 Bm/F# EADGBE EADGBE EADGBE EADGBE EADGBE 002212 022030 022020 022010 332000 Am6/E Em7 Em6 Emadd#5 Cmaj7/G To get the picking pattern in your head, I'll give a brief explanation. The key to it is the movement of the thumb. The thumb picks out the notes on the E, A and D strings. For each chord played, the order of strings which the thumb picks is the same - it goes like this : A D E D While the thumb gets on with this, use your other fingers to fill in the notes on the top strings. If you try it a few times, slowly, you should pick up the natural rhythm which the picking pattern has. Then, just practice ! I've tabbed the song out in full, although you'll soon realise that a lot of it is very similar with certain sections being repeated here and there.
