I've included a tab and chord chart below.
both of these say standard tuning, but you could play the chords (open chord style) a bit easier in half step down tuning. The tab is meant for standard only, you'd have to do some work on it to make it match pitch.
Google "chord chart" if you don't know how to play open chords... take your time on the fingerings, it takes a while to get them down enough to transition smoothly. Until you learn how to play the tabs, you can get by with just strumming chords.
To transpose chords from standard to 1/2 step down, you have to *raise* each chord by 1/2 step. A flat chord becomes a normal chord, a sharp chord becomes the next chord up. For instance - Eb becomes E, and G# becomes A, C becomes C#, etc.
Again, Google for a chord chart if you don't know how to play a given chord.
Now, here's the thing - you don't need to bother with the whole tuning and transposing thing if you're just playing it to sing yourself - only if you need it to be exactly the same pitch as the CD. Many artists transpose songs to match the pitch of their singing voice, or at least to get it within a more comfortable range. I always tune down 1/2 step, it's a little darker sounding, a little easier to play, and it fits my voice better.
Good luck.
