Tabs

Tuning: Standard (E MajorE A augmentedA D MajorD G+G BB E MajorE)

The main riff that goes through the whole song pretty much::
E MajorE|-----------------------------------------------|
BB|--6-----6-----6--6-----9--8--6h8p6h8p6h8-------|
G+G|-----------------------------------------------|
D MajorD|-----------------------------------------------|
A augmentedA|-----4-----4--------4--------------------------|
E MajorE|-----------------------------------------------|


repeats multiple times and then you finish it off like this:
E MajorE|-----------------------------------------------|
BB|--6-----6-----6--6-----------------------------|
G+G|-----------------------------------------------|
D MajorD|-------------------------7---6---4-------------|
A augmentedA|-----4-----4--------4--------------------------|
E MajorE|-----------------------------------------------|

[after the whole band joins in you play the main riff riff again and one of the guitars plays
the lower octave:]

e|---------------------------------------------------------------------------|
BB|---------------------------------------------------------------------------|
G+G|---------------------------------------------------------------------------|
D MajorD|---------------------------------------------------------------------------|
A augmentedA|-4--------4--------4--4---------7----6---4h6p4h6p4-------------------------|
E MajorE|-----2---------2-----------2-----------------------------------------------|


repeat multiple times and then finish it off the same way as before::
e|---------------------------------------------------------------------------|
BB|---------------------------------------------------------------------------|
G+G|---------------------------------------------------------------------------|
D MajorD|--------------------------------7---6---4----------------------------------|
A augmentedA|-4--------4--------4--4----------------------------------------------------|
E MajorE|-----2---------2-----------2-----------------------------------------------|


before the band stops playing and its only Stu singing you finish off the main riff with this::

E MajorE|-----------------------------------------------|
BB|--6-----6-----6--6-----9--8--6h8p6h8p6h8-------|
G+G|-----------------------------------------------| (x2)
D MajorD|-----------------------------------------------|
A augmentedA|-----4-----4--------4--------------------------|
E MajorE|-----------------------------------------------|

E MajorE|------------------------------------------------------------------------|
BB|--6-----6-----6--6-----9--8--6------------------------------------------|
G+G|------------------------------------------------------------------------|
D MajorD|------------------------------------------------------------------------|
A augmentedA|-----4-----4--------4---------------------------------------------------|
E MajorE|------------------------------- 0s7--7--7--7--0--2h5--5--5--5--2--0--2--|

JOIIIN THE LAST MIGRATION!

[As Stu is singing sometimes the band does just this part on a few spots during the song:

e|---------------------------------------------------------------------------|
BB|---------------------------------------------------------------------------|
G+G|---------------------------------------------------------------------------|
D MajorD|---------------------------------------------------------------------------|
A augmentedA|---------------------------------------------------------------------------|
E MajorE|0s7--7--7--7--0--2h5--5--5--5--2--0--2-------------------------------------|


The AUUUUTOMATIOOON! - part:
E MajorE|-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------|
BB|-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------|
G+G|-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------|
D MajorD|----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------7--6--4|
A augmentedA|---------------------7--6--4--------------------7--6--4-------------------7--6--4--------------------------|
E MajorE|2--2--2--2--2--2--2-----------4--4--4--4--4--4-----------5--5--5--5--5--5---------7--7--7--7--7--7---------|


You repeat this twice and on the second repeat finish it off with this part from earlier:
e|---------------------------------------------------------------------------|
BB|---------------------------------------------------------------------------|
G+G|---------------------------------------------------------------------------|
D MajorD|---------------------------------------------------------------------------|
A augmentedA|---------------------------------------------------------------------------|
E MajorE|0s7--7--7--7--0--2h5--5--5--5--2--0--2-------------------------------------|


The riff before the final chorus differs from all other riffs till now but basically follows the exact
same pattern as the main riff (this is at 2:40 btw) :
e|---------------------------------------------------------------------------|
BB|---------------------------------------------------------------------------|
G+G|---------------------------------------------------------------------------|
D MajorD|---6-----6-----6-6----9--8--6----------------------------------------------|
A augmentedA|------4-----4------4-------------------------------------------------------|
E MajorE|---------------------------------------------------------------------------|

 repeat multiple times and before chorus starts finish it off like this::
e|---------------------------------------------------------------------------|
BB|---------------------------------------------------------------------------|
G+G|---------------------------------------------------------------------------|
D MajorD|---6-----6-----6-6----7--6--4----------------------------------------------|
A augmentedA|------4-----4------4-------------------------------------------------------|
E MajorE|---------------------------------------------------------------------------|


final AAAUUTOMATIOOON! - riff again untill end of song
E MajorE|-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------|
BB|-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------|
G+G|-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------|
D MajorD|----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------7--6--4|
A augmentedA|---------------------7--6--4--------------------7--6--4-------------------7--6--4--------------------------|
E MajorE|2--2--2--2--2--2--2-----------4--4--4--4--4--4-----------5--5--5--5--5--5---------7--7--7--7--7--7---------|
