Capoed on the first fret...

Verse:

[D]Oh brother...[F#m] [A] [D] [F#m] [A]
[D]I've been trying... [F#m] [A] [D] [E]
[D]Oh brother ..[F#m][A]  [D]  [F#m] [A]
[D]I'm so scared.. [F#m] [A] [D] [E]
[D] [E]  [F#m]

Chorus:

[D]You can take...[F#m][A] [D]  [F#m]  [A]
[D]In the future wh[F#m] [A]  [D]  [F#m]   [A]
[D]You can climb ...[F#m] [A] [D]  [F#m]  [A]
[D]Or a write a ...[F#m] [A] [D] [E] [F#m]                                     

Verse 2 pattern is identical...

Second/third chorus are identical except for last line is:

[D]Or write a song [F#m] [A] [D]Or do... [E] [D]Or do... [E]  [F#m]

Instrumental part:
Bm - D - F#m - E x4  --   D  F#m A x3  --  D  E

This is the easiest way I've found to play the solo guitar part during
the instrumental ..Repeat this 2x

CHORUS ELECTRIC GUITAR:
I've seen a few tabs that have the right notes but are needlessly 
complicated...here is the "right" way to play it in my opinion.  
Basically just barre the 15th fret and you'll never have to move your hand.
