The intro is played by guitar only, then the verse goes like this:
4/4 3/4 4/4 3/4
G|--------------|-----------------|--------------|-----------------|-
D|--------------|-----------------|--------------|-----------------|-
A|--------------|------7----55----|--------------|------7----55----|-
E|5-----55-----5|5--8------5----8-|5-----55-----5|5--8------5----8-|-

repeat the verse twice (very small variations) then into the bridge:
4/4 4/4 6/4
G|----------------|----------------|-----------------|-
D|----------------|33--33--33--33--|-----------------|-
A|55--55--55--55-3|---3---3---3----|-----------------|-
E|---5---5---5----|---------------3|55-133-01-----030|-
once again play the verse plus the bridge, then the verse again
and at end fade the whole thing out for nearly two minutes playing
the last two bars of the verse.
