Here is what I have. The 'intro' is not note-for-note, of course, but gives you the idea.

That Am/G chord on the "Tall buildings shake..." walkdown should actually be this chord voicing: x02110. Watch a few solo Tweedy videos and you'll see that that is what he is playing. The bass is playing a C# on the recording, which would correspond to an Am/G# with the capo at the 5th fret.

 

Hope that helps.
