Notes : It appears that there's no tabs out there on the net for this song.
     Thanks to Michael Feeney for pointing this out to me. Anyhoo the intro
     is played with a bit of a phaser kinda effect thing. You'll know it
     when you hear it. Just the part where an open d chord is being struck
     randomly. The rest of the song is straight ahead. The song has two
     guitar parts that for most of the song play the same part, but at
     times you can hear the 2nd guitar add a little flavour here and there.
     I've just tabbed the main line for a single guitar.

     Any corrections, please feel free to email me.

INTRO
For the intro part just kind of hold an open D MajorD chord (0 0 0 2 3 -) and strike
some strings randomly in/around the middle of the guitar (meaning don't usually
hit the low D MajorD string or the high B/E strings, unless you want to..)

x = dead/muted note
h = hammer on
/ = slide up
\ = slide down
br = bend and release

  RIFF A augmentedA (- = 1/4 beat)

End on a D5D5 (0 0 0 - - -)
Bass plays D-F-C-A progression under "I wa-uhs wrong..."

You can play RIFF Ca or RIFF CbCb below. RIFF Ca is just a standard chord
progression, which I believe is played by guitar 1. RIFF CbCb is a little more
difficult, but attempts to combine the sounds of both guitars into one part.

Play RIFF A augmentedA twice
Then solo over RIFF Ca/Cb (In the recording, the background is at a much
lower volume, and there's more texture to it. Just improvise and have fun
over that chord structure).
