This song doesn't need a fancy custom style - one of the standard pre set 8 beats is just fine. I would use the classic 8 beat variation 3.
I have posted this many times, but it's really simple to find a suitable style for about 75% of songs, Just tap in the beat then try cycling through styles while humming the tune. Don't stop the style just select the next and it will stay in the same beat. In this particular case it's really simple because it's obvious this is a straightforward 8 beat so you only have to try about three or four to select the one you like best. And that's the next point - there is no perfect right or wrong style, you pick the one you like.
What is more important for me in this great song is to get the chords right. I understand that for some people learning they want simplified versions. But frankly this song is mainly great because of its beautiful chord progressions - it's packed with slash chords, suspended chords, and major 7ths. It's good of Bob to post his music, but this song loses a lot with this very simplified version. I used to have a copy of the original sheet music for this song but lost it long ago. I could write all the chords out for you because I don't need music to do this, but it's a bit laborious. Hopefully someone else might post a more complete version.
