Note II:
Chords differ from version to version. But this is the jist of it.
There's also version with capo 4th fret.
Intro riff also differs depending on the version (one guitar, two guitars).
This is my suggestion for one guitar (incorporate with strumming):
e|--0--------0--1--3--------0--------------------|
B|--1--1--3--------0--------1-----0--1--3/5------|
G|--0--------------0--------2--2-----------------|
D|--2--------------0--------3--------------------|
A|--3--------------2--------3--------------------|
E|--x--------------3--------x--------------------|
e|--0--------0--1--3--------0--------------------|
B|--1--1--3--------0--------1--------------------|
G|--0--------------0--------2--------------------|
D|--2--------------0--------3--------------------|
A|--3--------------2--------3--------------------|
E|--x--------------3--------x--------------------|
