Tabbed by: Macejko
Tuning: Standard
Key:

The main riff is played on ba?lama, which is an eastern variaton of lute.
This is a version for acoustic guitar (add a little palm-muting where you feel it):
e|---------------------------------------------------------------------------|
BB|---------------------------------------------------------------------------|
G+G|---------3-2-2-0--------0--------------------------------------------------|
D MajorD|-------------------3-----------2-------3-3-2-------------------------------|
A augmentedA|-3-3-3-3---------3---3-3---3-3---4-4-4-------4-3--3-3-3--3-4---------------|
E MajorE|---------------------------------------------------------------------------|
e|---------------------------------------------------------------------------|
BB|---------------------------------------------------------------------------|
G+G|-------------0-0-2-2-2-3-3-3-5---6-6-5-5-3-3-2-2----5--3-2-0---------------|
D MajorD|-----2-2-3-3---------------------------------------------------------------|
A augmentedA|-3-3---------------------------3-----------------3-------------------------|
E MajorE|---------------------------------------------------------------------------|
Listen to the song to get that rhytm into your hands.
This is played over the ba?lama melody later on:
e|---------------------------------------------------------------------------|
BB|---------------------------------------------------------------------------|
G+G|-5-----6--5----5-----6--5---5-----6--5---5-6-5---5-6-5---------------------|
D MajorD|-----5-------------5------------5------------------------------------------|
A augmentedA|---------------------------------------------------------------------------|
E MajorE|---------------------------------------------------------------------------|
Chords in the chorus (for acoustic guitar, for electric just play two lowest notes of each one):
e|-3----------1----------1----------4----------------------------------------|
BB|-4----------1----------1----------4----------------------------------------|
G+G|-5----------3----------1----------5----------------------------------------|
D MajorD|-5----------3----------3----------6----------------------------------------|
A augmentedA|-3----------1----------3----------6----------------------------------------|
E MajorE|-----------------------1----------4----------------------------------------|
In the bridge there is a short part where the ba?lama player
plays something else, just improvise over that bit ;)
