Great song - just something to tide people over til someone more skilled tabs it out. Adapted to play more
bass the whole way through.
First minute is some synth line but you could do dead notes to simulate that phasing /gated effect.
It's F# for a while then the chord progression comes in.

Now the next part when the drums come in, you'll have to listen a few times to get the rhythm right.
