Feels like a 4/4 swing.
I recommend listening to get the rhythm absolutely perfect.

Tabbed in D major, original is in A flat Major / G sharp Major.

Standard tuning: E A D G B e

For bass I found just playing the root note of the chord on the offbeat and walking--
to the next note sounds great.

Chords are:

Verse.

Dmaj (I)  |  Amaj (V) |  Gmaj (IV)   |

Bmin (vi) |  Bmin/A   |   Bmin-Amaj  |

  Gmaj    |    Amaj   |     Dmaj     |, then repeat.

Chorus.

 Emin(ii) | Dmaj | Emin | Amaj/sus2 |



The outro is just Dmaj and Gmaj.

Lead part.

e|------------------------------------------|
B|---5-6-7~--5-8-7~--7-5-------5~-----------|
G|-7---------------------7~--7-----6--6-7~--|
D|------------------------------------------|
A|------------------------------------------|
E|------------------------------------------|

Add slides and other accents once you get it down.

Chorus, the rhythm to this is tricky.

G|------------------------7-9---------7-7~---|
D|----------------------------------9--------|

G|------------------------7-9-------------------|

G|------------------------------------------------------7-7~--|

If you find any mistakes or things you can improve on, let me know. Cheers.
