I've done my best to give an idea as to where the changes fall with regard to the lyrics.
Also, fretted notes tabbed within parentheses represent single muted notes -- i.e., (5)
= mute the string with the palm of the picking hand while fretting the string on the

string (noted with an x). This helps define the eighth-note rhythms. But as usual,
listening to the
