This is my 1st tab so please let me know if this feels right, as I've done it based on a mix of the the 
album recording & a live set from a few years back!
Its a great track, from the Dusk Dreams album & a hopefully this acoustic version does it some justice...
CAPO on 1st fret
Some of the chords I couldn't choose between C/D or Cadd9 - go with what feels/sounds good!I prefer Cadd9...
There is a chord I'm not sure of the name but its a Cadd9 (or C/D) down 2 frets so I've called it Cadd9* - 
otherwise its normal chords relative to Capo 1. Lastly in the chorus I've tabbed a Cadd9 on the 4th line,but 
a normal C sounds good too...
Chords:
          G     Dsus4     Em7    Cadd9Cadd9*     C/DC/D*      D/F  C

Strumming pattern is broadly D D U U D U D but give the track a listen & you'll here the odd nuance...

 GThe electric stars cCadd9ame out tonight

But there's no way, to measure it at all
GThe blackest that Cadd9they shine upon
Em7                Cadd9*
