ok this is just a basic idea of how to play it my way, (james8791 from youtube)
I've been asked so many times to make the tab so here goes...
MAIN TUNE:
E----7-7-7-7-- -- -- -- -- -- -9-9-- -- -- -- -9-9-- -- -9-9-10-10- --- --- --|
B------------12-12-11-11-12-12-----11-11-12-12-----12-12------ -- - 12- 12- 14|
G------------- -- -- -- -- -- ------ -- -- -- ------ -- ------ -- - --- --- --|
D------------- -- -- -- -- -- ------ -- -- -- ------ -- ------ -- - --- --- --|
A---7-7-7-7-9- 9- 9- 9- 9- 9- 9-9-9- 9- 9- 9- 9-9-9- 9- 9-9-9- 9- 10- 10- 10--|
E------------- -- -- -- -- -- ------ -- -- -- ------ -- ------ -- - --- --- --|
E-- --- 10- 10- --- --- 10- 10- 12- 12- --- --- --- --- --- --- --- ---|
B-- 14- --- --- 14- 14- --- --- --- --- 14- 14- 14- 14- 14- 14- 14- 14-|
G-- --- --- --- --- --- --- --- --- --- --- --- --- --- --- --- --- ---|
D-- --- --- --- --- --- --- --- --- --- --- --- --- --- --- --- --- ---|
A-10- 10- 10- 10- 10- 10- 10- 10- 10- 12- 12- 12- 12- 12- 12- 12- 12- -|
E-- --- --- --- --- --- --- --- --- --- --- --- --- --- --- --- --- ---|

TAPPING:
this part just uses the first E string, and it's pretty much just
7-0, 7-2, 6-2, 7-2, 9-2, 6-2, 7-2, 9-2, 7-2, 9-2, 10-2, 7-3, 9-3, 10-3, 9-3, 10-3, 12-3,
You can work out the rhythm yourself, it'd take far too long for me to put up every
tapping note!
CHORDS:
this is my favourite bit. it's just so cool when you crank up the distortion!
E---0-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-|
B---0-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-3-x-x-x-x-x-5-x-|
G---0-4-3-4-6-3-4-6-4-6-x-4-6-7-6-7-x-6-|
D---2-4-4-4-4-4-4-4-4-4-4-5-x-x-x-x-x-7-|
A---2-4-4-4-4-4-4-4-4-4-4-5-5-5-5-5-5-7-|
E---0-2-2-2-2-2-2-2-2-2-2-3-3-3-3-3-3-5-|
again with the rhythm, it's not that hard so do it yourself.
the x's mean to mute the string with the hand that's playing the chord.
