As a bass player, when I heard this song, I was immediately pretty positive that I heard their bass player play a low B flat in this song, and not a higher one. Having watched a video of this song done live, I am even more convinced that this song is actually played in Bb and not drop D or C#, and as such, I will tab out how I feel the song is really played. I will not claim that this is note-for-note how they play it because without knowing them personally, that isn't possible, but after listening to it, and playing along with it, I am convinced I hear a low Bb in this song. Tuning: Low to high; Bb-Eb-Ab-Db Five-string bass standard tuning, then a half step down Band enters - :14 Verse (whole section x2) E-E-E-E-E-E-E-E-E-E-E-E-E-E-E-E-E-E-E-E-E-E-E-E-E-E-E-E-E-E-E-E--| Db--------------------------------------------------------------------| Ab--------------------------------------------------------------------| Eb---3-3-3-3-3-3-3-3-3-3-3-3-3-3-3-3-0-0-0-0-0-0-0-0-0-0-0-0-0-0-0-0--| Bb--------------------------------------------------------------------| E-E-E-E E-------E----------------------------------------| Db--------------------------------------------------------------------| Ab--------------------------------------------------------------------| Eb---7-7-7---------------------------2-2-2-2-2-2-2-2-2-2-2-2-2-2-2-2--| Bb---------0---------0-------0----------------------------------------| Bridge W W W E-E-E-E-E-E-E-E-E-E-E-E-E-E-E-E-E--| Db-----------------------------------------------------------| Ab-----------------------------------------------------------| Eb---3------0-------------2-2-2-2-2-2-2-2-2-2-2-2-2-2-2-2-2--| Bb-----------------0-----------------------------------------| Chorus (whole section x2) Q---Q---Q---Q---E.--S-Q---Q---| Db---------------------------------| Ab-------------------------4---5---| Eb---3---3---3---3---3---3---------| Bb---------------------------------| Db---------------------------------| Ab---------------------------------| Eb---0---0---0---0---0---0-0---0---| Bb---------------------------------| Db---------------------------------| Ab---------------------------------| Eb-----------7---7---------7---7---| Bb---0---0---0---0---0---0-0---0---| Db---------------------------------| Ab---------------------------------| Eb---2---2---2---2---2---2-2---2---| Bb---------------------------------| Break: Listen to the timing in the song for the lengths of these.

Listen to the bass guitar at this point, and how deep that Bb is. This is why I believe this song is played in Bb!
