This is a tab of the song's acoustic guitar as played by Frances. This tab was written as played on NPR's Tiny Desk Concert (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=iFGnkbZ3fLE) which may mean you may find a slight difference between this tab and the actual recording, but going through it myself I've found that whatever changes are negligible. Chords are placed in a way that represents the rhythm, but by no means represent the amount of times they should be played, listen to the song and play it from ear.
