Below is the tab for the first verse and Chorus. Repeat for the other verses. 
Then play the turn around and repeat the Chorus. I play the chord where I mark 
them on the song. You can play any chord-notes you want there. 

I try to keep my fingers as close to the chord positions and its easier  
and faster to play the notes. This can be played without any back up too.
