Tabbed by Markik. Standard tuning, no capo.
You can do the A G B note progression before "Some lucky night" by playing this, going off the Bm:
e|--2--------5----3--2-----|
B|--3--------2----2--2-----|
G|--4--------2----2--2-----|
D|--4--------4----4--4-----|
A|--2--------2----2--2-----|
E|-------------------------|
or a derivation of that (don't finger all the strings).
I'll indicate where by putting an asterisk on B7. You could also just play B7.
Intro:
D
G A
D G A
Don't they love you in mysterious ways?
D G A
You say, "Yeah, but this is now and that was then"
D G A
Put a dollar into the machine and you'll remember when
G D
I know when everything feels wrong
G D
I've got some hard, hard proof in this song
G D D/C# Bm
I'll know when everything feels right
B7*
G A
D
Some lucky night
B7

D
Some lucky night
G A
D G A
Say the money just ain't what it used to be
D G A
Man, how we used to tear apart this town
D G A
Put a dollar into the machine and you'll remember how.
D G
A
Oh, yeah.
(this can be done an octave up)

Some lucky...
One last unnecessary thing: I like adding a passing A note before the D in the chorus, like this:
G G/A D
I know when everything feels wrong
