The song is played in standard tuning with a capo on the 3rd fret. The chord
voicings used throughout the song are given below. The fifths during the bridge
are played somewhat loosely; it's okay to allow the open G and B strings to
drone while you play that section.
E|--G3---Dsus43-----A7sus4-3-----G/A-3--G/B-3--Csus2-3----Cadd9-3----G5---G5/F#------B5/C-----C5---|

The walk-up that happens after each line in the verse (from A7sus4 to Cadd9)
goes roughly like the following:
E|--A7sus4------3--3-G/A-3--G/B3----------|--------Csus23--3--Cadd93-----Csus23--3----|
B|--------3--3--3--3----------|--------3--3--3-----3--3----|

There are a couple of hammer-ons scattered throughout the song that aren't
reflected in the chords given below or in the tab for the walk-up. Phoebe
sometimes hammers on to the 2nd fret of the 3rd string while playing the Dsus4 chords
throughout the song. There are also hammer-ons to the 2nd fret of the 4th string
in some of the A7sus4 chords during the choruses.
