This is the most accurate tab you'll find out there, it's based on thorough

Notes:
-all /N means just play the low string in that note (for a "bass" effect), and not the whole
chord (e.g. /G means strum the E string on the third fret; it will be clearer if you watch the video)
-he does the /G bass with the pinky while holding Am
-he removes the finger on the second fret a few times on the Fmaj7 intro chord
