This tab is made of a version of John playing this live from a DVD I rented years ago.
This is exactly how he played it that day. He plays it in a lot of different keys so,
have a go at moving the capo around to match the version you're used to.
Whether you choose to fingerpick or strum, these chords sound great and the song is a gem. 
More people should hear this one that's why I tabbed it out.
Capo 4th fret - Intro is the same chords as verse

CToday I walked down the street I use to Fwander
Yeah, shook my Chead and made myself a Gbet
There was all these Cthings that I don't think I Fremember
