This is how I play this wee tune on my acoustic
*** Capo 2nd fret ***
(everything relative to this)
(You could easily enough ditch the capo and play barre chords with the chords shifted up 
tones i.e Em becomes F#m, C becomes D etc; which I imagine is how the band play it. I 
wanted to show you my take on the tune)

I've been Emtalking too mysCelf
