This is my interpretation of the song and is what I hear. I have
included the chords I use to play this song, but please feel
free to experiment with your own voicings. 

*The Alternate Chorus for intermediate level players more
accurately represents what is played in the song.  Playing these
chords will certainly make the song sound more accurate, but
require more skill to play. Playing the chords included in the 
main body of the song will maintain the overall flavor of the 
song and make it easier for some guitar players to play along.
If you are capable of playing the quick chord changes presented
in the Alternate Chorus, then those chords should be played for
all three choruses in the song.

Tacet means don’t play.
