                                this string is picked |
                                  every now and then

The Guitar follows the Bass line for the first section then goes
into more lead material. The bass follows the notes given below
with a few minor slide techniques. Sorry if its a bit disjointed,
this is my first attempt at transcribing anything. I think its
pretty workable though. What can I say ... Great Song - One of
there Best! Feel free to add to or amend!

Prelude: This is probably keyboard NOVATION BASS STATION
         but here is what it would look like with guitar

Interlude:  One guitar playing a slightly muted Chord diagramA augmentedA power chord for a few bars.
Another guitar picking between the 5th fret on the Chord diagramBB string and the 2nd fret
on the Chord diagramG+G string. Or alternatively use the intro chord above if using one guitar.

     Intro chord could be played here depending |
       on whether a lead guitar is used or not  |

Interlude:
There is a bit of lead guitar in amongst the following starting
with a picking between the 5th fret on the Chord diagramBB string and the
2nd fret on the Chord diagramG+G string. (listen out for the timing)

Play the above chords (or more likely Bass line with distortion)
with the following guitar lead on top

     Chord diagramBB|------------
     Chord diagramG+G|------9----- <--- slid all the way down
     Chord diagramD MajorD|------------      to the nut continuously

     Chord diagramG+G|------------
     Chord diagramD MajorD|------------
     Chord diagramA augmentedA|------------
     Chord diagramD MajorD|------------

Ending with

     Chord diagramE MajorE|------14---- <--- bent slightly towards the end
     Chord diagramBB|------------
     Chord diagramG+G|------------
     Chord diagramD MajorD|------------
     Chord diagramA augmentedA|------------
     Chord diagramD MajorD|------------

There is another lead here too, a little way into the above which goes
something like this: (Don't quote me) Get some good headphones to listen out for it.

Chord diagramE MajorE|-2-4-5--7--9---5---9----5---9----5---9-9-9-9---5-----9---9--10--12-12--14-----

                                                            Bend the last one

In amongst it is some lyrics too. Again get some good headphones to listen out for it.

slight slide and pause then.........

The Chord diagramD MajorD and Chord diagramA augmentedA string is held down with the thumb.

Repeat the following three times
     Chord diagramE MajorE|---x--x-x-----x-x-----x-----x-x-----x-x----x----
     Chord diagramBB|---7--x-x--7--x-x--7--x--7--x-x--7--x-x-7--x----
     Chord diagramG+G|---x--x-x-----x-x-----x-----x-x-----x-x----x----
     Chord diagramD MajorD|---x--x-x-----x-x-----x-----x-x-----x-x----x----
     Chord diagramA augmentedA|---6--6-6-----6-6-----6-----6-6-----6-6----6----
     Chord diagramD MajorD|---6--6-6-----6-6-----6-----6-6-----6-6----6----

     Chord diagramE MajorE|---x-----------x-x-----x------------------------
     Chord diagramBB|---x--6-5------x-x-----x------------------------
     Chord diagramG+G|---x------7----6-x-6---x------------------------
     Chord diagramD MajorD|---x-----------x-x-----9-6----------------------
     Chord diagramA augmentedA|---5-----------7-7-----6-6----------------------
     Chord diagramD MajorD|---5-----------7-7-----6-6----------------------

Then the following two times

     Chord diagramE MajorE|---x-----------x-x-----x------------------------
     Chord diagramBB|---x--6-5------x-x-----x------------------------
     Chord diagramG+G|---x------7----6-x-6---x------------------------
     Chord diagramD MajorD|---x-----------x-x-----9-6----------------------
     Chord diagramA augmentedA|---5-----------7-7-----6-6----------------------
     Chord diagramD MajorD|---5-----------7-7-----6-6----------------------

Ending with the following

     Chord diagramE MajorE|---x-----------x--------------------------------
     Chord diagramBB|---x--6-5------x--------------------------------
     Chord diagramG+G|---x------7----6--------------------------------
     Chord diagramD MajorD|---x-----------x--------------------------------
     Chord diagramA augmentedA|---5-----------7--------------------------------
     Chord diagramD MajorD|---5-----------7--------------------------------

You could choose to omit the thumb and move these notes onto the Chord diagramD MajorD String instead.
I reckon that this is how it is really played, but I like the thumb technique when
