I've noticed that there are some really strange interpretations of this song.
Some transcriptions are close but some are so way off I wonder if it's the
same song.

Here's my take on the song. I've used a single acoustic steel string guitar
with a standard tuning to nut this song out. It sounds to me like the
bottom E-string has been tuned down to D but if you are just playing chords
you can play along in normal tuning using the chords I've worked out.
If you are keen on getting every little nuance of the song you will have
look at one of the transcriptions using the alternative tuning or email me
if you can't find one that works. Some of the chord voicings I use are
different to the record but it still fits if you play along with the song.

Here it is: -
