I considered this easy - intermediate because overall the tabs
just look daunting. A great deal of the song is repetitive, so
learning the main theme should help you brisk through the chorus
with ease.
Main Theme
For the intro, notice you are mostly just working around the
A chord in the first few measures, with a few hints of notes in
between. That will tell you that your "pivot" point
will be mostly barring the A chord, which allows you to walk the
strings a little easier.
Guitar 2 is a mandolin, but the notes are really easy to play
along with.
Here is the strumming part :

Here is what the entire theme sounds like together :
Fingerings
There are two repetitive riffs in the main theme that I played
differently. The opening of the mandolin part is what I am referring
to. Notice in the first fingered part, I just use my 1st and 2nd
finger. Well, later on, you will see that I used my 2nd, 3rd,
and 1st fingers. The reason for this is if you notice the second
time, you have to be able to switch from the 12th fret on the
A string rather quickly. Your best bet is just to keep your 1st
finger there until time to play the next notes with your other
fingers. I didn't want anyone trying to use their 1st finger to
get to that fill on the second part. It is just really hard to
do. We want to make this as easy as possible, right?
Chorus
Fingerings
Notice the last two measures. The notes may look difficult, but
they really aren't. When you get to the 14th fret on the high
E string and the 10th fret on the B string, I recommend barring
your 1st finger over those two strings. Then, KEEP your 3rd finger
on the twelfth fret the whole time while playing this. All you
have to do then is use your 4th finger to hit the 14th fret every
time you need to. Here is a video of what I mean :
