      Diamonds by Passenger, from his album "Flight of the Crow" from 2010.
He plays it with the capo on 7th fret - at least on the version I listened to:
The album version on spotify featuring Simon R. Beckleman, which seems to fit this 
version from Youtube exactly: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qZ_wfJFbGc4

The other tab here is fine, but had the missing Am/Em as flaws, so I decided to work that out
and also add a short section of the guitar in the intro
The little guitar riff intro-thing he does will be included at the bottom, for those who fancy that.

For the rhythm I suggest you listen to the song and sort out what works for you :)



[Intro]
F G C Am F G C


[Verse 1]

                        F       
   Well I spoke to this man
G                         C
   Said he’d been to the moon
Am                         F
   Carved his name in the ground
                           G
   Saw the world spinning round
                             C
   (and) came back that afternoon.


[Verse 2]

                         F
   And I laughed at this man
G                          C
   Said he’d been lost at sea
Am                    F
   Heard the sirens' call
                     G
   Seen the pirates fall
                           C
   To the monsters in the deep


[Chorus]

                               F      
   I said I’d heard some tall tales
G                           Am    
   Some good stories in my time
Em                      F
   So I asked him for proof
                          G
   And he showed me the truth
                            C
   There was dancing in his eyes.


[Interlude]

1st horn interlude: F G C Am F G C
(you can play the guitar "riff" here, if you fancy)


[Verse 3]

                          F   
   I could not believe this man
G                            C
   Said he was a millionaire
Am                              F
   He said: "I know I dress in rags
                           G
   But I drive a vintage 'Jag'
                                 C
   And I’ve got a diamond chandelier".


[Chorus]

                             F  
   I said I think I need a drink
G                        Am    
   And made my way outside
Em                                 F
   You know I’d swear this was a spoof
                         G
   If it wasn’t for the truth
                            C
   There was dancing in his eyes.


[Interlude]

2nd horn interlude/solo: F G C Am F G C X2



[Verse 4]

(There isn't rhythm as such in the last verse, just a strum per chord will do)

                            F   
   When I came back in the room
G                    C
   The man had disappeared
Am                          F
   He left a rock from the moon
                      G
   An eyepatch and a diamond
                 C 
   From a chandelier.

The guitar figure during intro, which also fits during the interludes.  
It's up to you whether you play the stuff in ( ). It's nice as fillings if you play alone.

Relative to capo:

                   F     G                C     Am

e|-----------------------------------------------------|
B|--1--3--5--3--1--1-----(0)--0--1--3--5--1-----(1)----|
G|-----------------2-----(0)--------------0-----(2)----|
D|--2--3--5--3--2--3-----(0)--0--2--3--5--2-----(2)----|
A|---------------------------------------(3)----(0)----|
E|----------------(1)----(3)---------------------------|


                   F           G                 C

e|---------------------1---0---------------------------|
B|--1--3--5--3--1--1-----------3-----0--1--3--5--1-----|
G|-----------------2---2---0--(0)---------------(0)----|
D|--2--3--5--3--2--3-----------0-----0--2--3--5--2-----|
A|----------------------------------------------(3)----|
E|----------------(1)---------(3)----------------------|


If you aren't playing with a capo, simply add 7 to the number of the frets listed above,
as such your 1st fret relative to capo would be your 8th fret instead, your open string in capo = 7th fret.
You get the idea :) 

Hope you found this useful!
Enjoy, and feel free to leave a comment regarding any errors :)
