Here's a polyphonic transcription of the music in ABC. I've only done the intro, first verse, chorus and bridge, since the remainder consists of repetitions of the verse section, slightly modified to accommodate different words.

This ABC can be pasted into Concertina.net's ABC Convert-A-Matic to generate a PDF score (thought the extended features I use defeat their MIDI converter). I've sent a MIDI to Joe Offer, who will post it here shortly. I generated the MIDI using Barfly.

If desired, I can post a melody-only ABC transcription, which should be usable with more programs.
