Not important but just in case you want to know it. Just before they start singing.
Listen the song for tempo and strumming, it's easy.

Keep the index finger over the top 3 strings at all times to allow for smooth chord changes.

Listen to it for tempo. It keeps going until the end of the song
I turned it down one octave so it can be played easily on a guitar. Also,
although these are the correct notes, I believe they are almost sliding all the notes.
