Here is the fingerpicking pattern, which is played during the whole song:
GEmE|-----------------|-----------------|-----------------|-----------------|
B|-------3---------|-------3---------|-------0---------|-------0---------|
G|-----------0---0-|-----------0---0-|-----------0---0-|-----------0---0-|
D|----0--------0---|----0--------0---|-----2-------2---|-----2-------2---|
A|-----------------|-----------------|-----------------|-----------------|
E|-3---------------|-3---------------|-0---------------|-0---------------|CDGE|-----------------|-----------------|-----------------|-----------------|
B|-------0---------|-------3---------|-------3---------|-------3---------|
G|-----------0---0-|-----2-----2---0-|-----------0---0-|-----------0---0-|
D|-----2-------2---|-0-----------0---|-----0-------0---|-----0-------0---|
A|-3---------------|-----------------|-----------------|-----------------|
E|-----------------|-----------------|-3---------------|-3---------------|
If you want to play the chords, instead of the fingerpicking you can play them as showed here.
I found these chords like they described here sounded the best to the original recording.
You can also play them without the pinky finger on the high G.
GEmCDE|-3----3----3----2--|
