Chords adapted from this amazing acoustic version of the song on Youtube:

Definitely worth checking out!

She plays it with a capo on the 4th fret and I prefer how it sounds there, but if you
want to play along to the album version chuck a capo onto the 1st fret.

The girl in the video should take the credit for this tab but
any feedback or suggestions would be greatly appreciated!
