First off you will need a Capo on the 2nd fret.
Now I've been listening, and listening, to this song to try to get it just right.
Unfortunately this is as close as I can get.
NOTE: The strumming patters are very specific! I have the chords set up so you change ON 
WORD, SYLLABLE, OR REST(with a few exceptions)!
To get the best of the song, read what I have down or listen to it closely!
\=strum down
/=strum up
"/ or "\=strum slowly as to hit the strings on after another.
Pattern= down, down, down up x2
Chords (relative to the capo):
 Ax02220  Dxx0232  G320003 Db(I think) x02230
            A\\\/\\\/    D\\\/\\\/
Look around, what a mess
 G\\\/\\\/          Db\\\/A\\\/
Anybody's guess
Each slow strum goes with the words.
