Hint:
e|--3---| By holding the G chord in the "intro lick" like
b|-(1)--| this (left), it becomes easier to get the correct
g|------| flow in your playing. Finger the chord using your
D|------| left hand 2nd, 3rd and 4th fingers then add your
A|--2---| 1st finger for the (1) note. See figure and TAB.
E|--3---| 
 
 
I had a problem getting the TAB to match the lyrics in the
bridge section. This helped...

Detail:
 
Be aware in the 3rd verse at:
"Like the strangers that you've met - The ragged men in ragged clothes"
Part of the guitar between the words "...met" and "The..." is skipped.
The vocals jump ahead a bit.
