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.

G|-7---------------------7~--7-----6--6-7~--|
D|------------------------------------------|

E|------------------------------------------|
Add slides and other accents once you get it down.
Chorus, the rhythm to this is tricky.
