After fumbling around, I think I've got a fairly accurate guitar tab for this masterpiece. Here it is:
Tuning: Standard
Verse/Chorus (This is played for most of the song)
D# C G F
Interlude (Oh, say, when can you love again?)
G A# G F
And that's about it for rhythm guitar. The violin part in the beginning can be played like this:
B String -11--11-10-10--8--6--6-10-6--
