Bb|---------------------------------|
Gb|---------------------------------|
Db|---------------------------------|
Ab|-----2-------2-------0-------2---|
Eb|-0-0---0-2-2---2-1-1---1-3-3---3-|

I think I may ...
(Not tabbed according to strumming, so please listen for rhythm)

eb|-------3-1-|
Bb|-------3-1-|
Gb|-2-4-5-4-3-|
Db|-2-2-5-5-3-|

Bb|---------------------------------|

Eb|-0-0---0-2-2---2-1-1---1-3-3---3-|

As I...

Eb|-0-0-0-0-2-2-2-2-1-1-1-1-3-3-3-3-|

then it builds up to this
eb|-3-x|
Bb|-0-x|
Gb|-0-x|
Db|-2-x|
Ab|-2-x|
Eb|-0-x|

I pray to reason (not sure about these lyrics):

            Electric!

Db|-2-2-5-5-3--|

Chorus (can't hear every bit, but I'm playing it this way)
Once again I'm not tabbing out the strumming pattern.

Bb|-------------------3---|
Gb|---------55-5-55-5-2---| Strumming pattern for the palm-muted chord
Db|-2-5-4-2-55-5-55-5-0---| is a bit confusing, but after a few times
Ab|-2-------33-3-33-3-----| you play it without the palm-mute, then the
Eb|-0-------33-3-33-3-----| last chord.
            .. . ..
