Thie may be redundant but I thought I'd at least put these chords in the right order
for everyone that's confused by the other tab on this site. Plus, as a bonus, my take
on the rhythm pattern and the mighty lyrics:
After the slide (I know, it's the bass, but I like it!) we'll call this rhythm figure 1.

When you transition from the D chord to the next verse, make sure to hammer-on the 6th
string with the pickie. And I use down and up strokes for the two syncopated Am chords.
Then repeat Rhythm Fig 1. 157 times. Enjoy!
G C Am D
Once upon a midnight dearie
G C Am D
I woke with something in my head
G C Am D
I couldn't escape the memory
G C Am D
Of a phone call and of what you said
