Thought You Should Know Cifras

Originally tabbed from https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dWP2Un2a8yc which is in standard tuning.
Studio version https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=X4r_eTtS4Lo is in half-step down tuning.
Or you could transpose the song to D (instead of G) then capo on the 4th fret and play the song
in its original key (F#) without tuning down your guitar.
