First I must say, it's sad that this song more famous than it is. I discovered it 
myself last summer, and fell in love with it. So I decided to learn it. First the 
tab, and then I wanted to play it with chords, just try to get the sound of it. 
I'm not sure if it's 100% correct, but it sounds ok in my ears.
What you need:
A guitar in standard tuning 
A capo placed on the 2nd fret
Strumming pattern: I use D-D-U-U-D 
If you listen to the song he quite often builds up from a Em to a G chord. 
So if you want to add that part, well he does is the following on your lowest E-string.
E:|0-2-3 and then play the G-chord.
Feel free to correct me, send me a pm or leave a msg in the comments section and 
I'll try to fix the wrong part(s). I know the chordsplacements aren't 100% 
accurate, but I've done it by ear from the way I remember the song, so bare with me. ;)
Oh, and FYI, I got the lyrics from a random site, and from what I've checked, he 
uses different lyrics on almost every recording I've heard. Not much I can do am I afraid : )
