I've tabbed 2 versions here. The first has subtler chords
and would work well for a single acoustic guitar, and adds
elements suggested by the full arrangement. The second version
below that has the basic chords, played on the off-beat by the
reggae guitar.
Dm = x57765 F = 133211 G6 = 355430
Dm7 = x57565 G = 355433 Gm6/Bb = x10030
Asus2 = x02200 Em7 = 022030 A7 = x02020
Am = x02210 Fmaj7 = 133210 Fm6 = 133131
(F) = 1xxxxx (F/G) = 3xxxxx (F/A) = x0xxxx
