Paul and Gibby both handle the guitars on this song.
All of these tabs are approximate.
Intro Paul:
E------*12*-----------------------------------------------------| B--*12*---------------------------------------------------------| G---------------------------------------------------------------| D--------------------14b~~~--14b~~~--14b~-14b~-14b~14~14b-(14r)-| A---------------------------------------------------------------| E---------------------------------------------------------------|
follow this with sludgy tremolo picked slides on the low E. then:
E------10--------10----------10----10----10~~-------10----10-----10-| B--11b----11r~~-----b11~--11b---11b---11b--------11b---11b---11b----| G-------------------------------------------------------------------| D-------------------------------------------------------------------| A-------------------------------------------------------------------| E-------------------------------------------------------------------| E-----10----10----10----10-----10-----10---------------| B--11b---11b---11b---11b---11b----11b------11b(11)11r\-| G------------------------------------------------------| D------------------------------------------------------| A------------------------------------------------------| E------------------------------------------------------|
Intro Gibby:
E----------------------------------------| B----------14~~-14b~~~--14b~~14b~~14b~~~-| etc then slide randomly G----------------------------------------| up the the neck, and bang D----------------------------------------| some open strings A----------------------------------------| E----------------------------------------|
Then:
E---------------------------------------------------------------------| B---------------------------------------------------------------------| G---------------------------------------------------------------------| D--9-----9-----9-----9------------------------------------------------| A--7-----7-----7-----7----2\7-7----11\7-7----2\7-7----11\7-7--7-7-7-7-| E--0-----0-----0-----0--------0---------0--------0---------0--0-0-0-0-|
Vocal part:
E-------------------------------------| B-------------------------------------| G--5-5-5-5-7-7-7-7-9--9-9-9-9-9-9-9-9-| D--5-5-5-5-7-7-7-7-9--9-9-9-9-9-9-9-9-| A--3-3-3-3-5-5-5-5-7--7-7-7-7-7-7-7-7-| E------------------0--0-0-0-0-0-0-0-0-|
Gibby and Paul play basically the same thing, with varied rhythm
on the E chord (Gibby is panned farther right, Paul farther left).
After Paul's first verse/chorus/whatever:
PAUL:
E--------------------------------------------| B--------------------------------------------| G--12~-11~--12-9~-12-9~--12-9-12-9-12-9-12-9-| D--------------------------------------------| A--------------------------------------------| E--------------------------------------------| E------------------------------------------------------------------------| B-------------------------------------------------------10-9-10-12-13~~~-| G--9-10~--7-9~---9-7--------------------------------7-9------------------| D--------------------10-9-10-9-7-6-7-9-10-9-10-9-10----------------------| A------------------------------------------------------------------------| E------------------------------------------------------------------------| E----------------------------------------------------------------| B--(13~~~)\--12-10--x-10-9-10-9^10^9^10^9^10^9^10^9--------------| G----------------------------------------------------7-9br-7-9---| D--------------------------------------------------------------9-| A----------------------------------------------------------------| E----------------------------------------------------------------| E------10--------10----------10----10----10~~-------10----10-----10-| B--11b----11r~~-----b11~--11b---11b---11b--------11b---11b---11b----| G-------------------------------------------------------------------| D-------------------------------------------------------------------| A-------------------------------------------------------------------| E-------------------------------------------------------------------| E-----10----10----10----10-----10-----10---------------------| B--11b---11b---11b---11b---11b----11b------11b-11b-11b-11br\-| G------------------------------------------------------------| D------------------------------------------------------------| A------------------------------------------------------------| E------------------------------------------------------------|
GIBBY:
Begin this section playing the chorus riff (C D E) underneath
Paul's first riff above. Then he plays:
E-----------------------------------------------------------------| B-----------------------------------------------------------------| G-----------------------------------------------------------------| D-----------------------------------------------------------------| A--7~-8~-7~--5~-7~---7\5---5\3---0^3\5\7~--------12-11-12-11~-----| E--------------------------------------------\12-------------12~/-| E--------------------0-| B--------------------0-| G----------7-8b~~~~----| D------7-8-------------| A--7-8-----------------| E----------------------|
Then:
E---------------------------------------------------------------------| B---------------------------------------------------------------------| G---------------------------------------------------------------------| D--9-----9-----9-----9------------------------------------------------| A--7-----7-----7-----7----2\7-7----11\7-7----2\7-7----11\7-7--7-7-7-7-| E--0-----0-----0-----0--------0---------0--------0---------0--0-0-0-0-|

a lot of solos, give me a break..)
