The first thing to do if you want to learn how to play you're favorite song is to find out what key it's in and what are the chords used in the song. There are number of resources online for sheet music and tablature.
Once you know what chords to use, you should practice the fingering for each chord, switching back and forth between them, and listening to how they sound. After you're comfortable with them, break down the song into small parts and practice the rhythm. Play along with a video or recording of the song to and repeat each part until you get. Always slow it down enough so that you can play it correctly. Train your brain and fingers to play it right, then you can speed it up.
