The following is my attempt to tab the song reasonably close to studio and live recordings that I've heard (except for the instrumental sections, in which case I've suggested chord patterns.) The chords aren't difficult for the intermediate and advanced player, but may give the beginner a bit of trouble. They are definitely worth the effort to get right, since the bass notes really stand out when played as written. As for the strumming pattern, listen to the recordings and come up with something that makes you happy. Oh, and good luck with the high notes!
