Tuning: E A D G B E
Version of MunsonGuitarSongs on Youtube (my favourite):

Additional info regarding the strumming pattern:
the first stroke is not s stroke but a pick of the basenote,
the 4th stroke is muted, right or left hand muting but left hand
sounds better to me. You can also sometimes let the upstroke after
the 4th stroke ring out (also muted). To make it sound good,
give it a little reggae swing.
