Took me a while to work this out (and it might not be how they actually recorded it) but
I got annoyed at the fact that there's no tabs for this song that sound like the studio
version. The tuning's a bit weird but just go with it and it'll sound right when played along.
The tuning's Eb, G, F, G, B, E from the low to high strings. The Eb should be a semitone
lower than the normal E, the G is one octave lower than the higher G, and the F string
should be lower than the previous G string if that makes sense.
Verses:
E|------------------------------------------------------------------|

F|--0--0--0--------2--2--2\4/2p0------------------------------------| Repeat
G|--5-----5\7/5/3--0-----0---------3--3-------3-------3----3--------|

Bridge:
(This is pure improvisation but still sounds alright when played along to the song)!
E|-----------------------------------------------------------------------|
B|-----------------------------------------------------------------------|
G|-----------------------------------------------------------------------|
F|----0---0---0---2---3---3---3---3---3---3---3---3---2---2---2---2------| Repeat
G|-----------------------------------------------------------------------|
Eb|-2---2---2---2---2---2---2---2---0---0---0---0---0---0---0---0--------|
Then just carry on playing that 'till the end!
Enjoy :-)
