Standard tuning. Fun 4 chord song, intermediate only for the voicings, but if you got bar chords down, it should be easy. Play A F#m and D as bar chords, E open. Rhythm is down, up-down-up-down, up-down-up-down, up for each chord during the breaks ("elephants and zebras," "be with you always," etc.) and chorus ("and it de-fi-NIT-ly matters..."). Verse, bridge, and coda are just downstrokes, with palm-muting... ...or play it how like. Have fun!
