This is a tab of the tapping part this guy
didn't post.
Tuning: 1/2 step down Eb Ab Db Gb Bb eb
I don't know why he tuned his guitar 1/2 step down, I'm guessing since you need to tune
by ear to match the song's tuning which isn't completely 1/2 step down but it isn't
completely standard E either.
Anyway, tuning aside, in 1/2 step down, the fast tapping part is
eb|-10-10-13-10-10t17-10h13t18-10h13-t17-10-13-13-10--------------------------| Bb|---------------------------------------------------------------------------| Gb|---------------------------------------------------------------------------| Db|---------------------------------------------------------------------------| Ab|---------------------------------------------------------------------------| Eb|---------------------------------------------------------------------------| eb|-10-10-13-10-10t18-10h13t17-10t22\21\20-10-13-13-10------------------------| Bb|---------------------------------------------------------------------------| Gb|---------------------------------------------------------------------------| Db|---------------------------------------------------------------------------| Ab|---------------------------------------------------------------------------| Eb|---------------------------------------------------------------------------|
Then this melody repeats throughout the song
eb|--/15--13--13---------/13--13--13--13--12--12--13--13----------------------| Bb|---------------------------------------------------------------------------| Gb|---------------------------------------------------------------------------| Db|---------------------------------------------------------------------------| Ab|---------------------------------------------------------------------------| Eb|---------------------------------------------------------------------------| eb|--t/22p20p17--/15--13--13----/13--13--13--13-------------------------------| Bb|----------------------------------------------15--15--13--13---------------| Gb|---------------------------------------------------------------------------| Db|---------------------------------------------------------------------------| Ab|---------------------------------------------------------------------------| Eb|---------------------------------------------------------------------------| In the original song (0:53), there is a part where you just slide between two notes (the melody plays while this is playing so play either for your cover) eb|--22\13----13/22-----------------------------------------------------------| Bb|---------------------------------------------------------------------------| Gb|---------------------------------------------------------------------------| Db|---------------------------------------------------------------------------| Ab|---------------------------------------------------------------------------| Eb|---------------------------------------------------------------------------|
If you choose, you can use the song's chords for the singing part

The chords in E standard are
C#m E B A
*************************
| h Hammer-on
| p Pull-off
| t Tapping
| / Slide up
| \ Slide down
*************************
I don't feel like writing the arrangement down since this song is made of repetitions of
the main melody, the tapping part and underlying chords.
Just listen to the song and you'll get it :)
