here: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LvuUdePL2sA.  Most of the information in this 
tab is from that video.  I did make one or two minor corrections to the chorus 
based on how the version of the song I have sounds.  If anything I wrote seems 
unclear, check his video and you should be able to find a good explanation.

How it’s strummed:
Pluck the bass note of the chord, then strum with the back of your fingers, ending 
by putting emphasis (i.e. plucking) the high note in the chord.  Don’t play the 
high E string at all during the song.
