I'm fairly sure it's C majorC Standard on the album, but I find that most of it is easier to play in Drop C. If you
need authenticity, or something, tune to C majorC and shift strings 1-5 (GCFAD) of the tab up two frets.

This is the rhythm part. I'll see if I can get around to tabbing out the solos later on.

Tuning (Low to high): CGCFAD

OPENING RIFF

D MajorD|-------------------------|
A augmentedA|-------------------------|

C majorC|-----------------------3-|
G+G|-5-3---3-5---5-3---3-5---|
C majorC|-----0-----0-----0-------|
  * * * * * * * * * * * *
 Play it four times.

PRE-VERSE

D MajorD|-----------------------------------------|
A augmentedA|-----------------------------------------|
FF|-----------------------------------------|
C majorC|-------3-3-2------2h3-3------3-3-2-----5-|

C majorC|-0-0-0-------0-0--------0-0--------0-0---|
  * * *    * *    * *    * *
Also play this four times, but when you finish the fourth one, do:

D MajorD|-----|
A augmentedA|-----|
FF|-----|
C majorC|-5-7-|
G+G|-3-5-|
C majorC|-----|
This connects it to the next riff.

C majorC|-----------------------------------------------------5-7-|
Let the last chord ring out.

I like to do this little fill right here to go with the lead (or some variation in the same C majorC minor pentatonic):
C majorC|--------------------------------|
A augmentedA|-10-13p12p10--------------------|
FF|-------------12p10----12b13--10-|
C majorC|-------------------12-----------|
G+G|--------------------------------|

G+G|-5----7-8-----3-5----1-3----0--5----7--8------3---3/10---8---5-3---3-5---5-3---3-5---|
C majorC|-----------------------------------------------------------------0-----0-----0-------|
                                * * * * * * * * * * * *
Play this twice.

It's all stuff that's already listed here until:

BRIDGE

C majorC|------------|-0---------------0--------------|
         Repeat this partitioned bit here a bunch. On the second to last repeat, replace the open C majorC
with a 5, and on the last repeat, replace it with an 8 on the second string (G+G string in this tuning).

BRIDGE (LEAD)

D MajorD|-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------|
A augmentedA|-13\10---8/13---15\12---13\8---13\10---8/13---13/15\13---15/17--15/17---15/18--20--18--20b22--20b22\-|
FF|-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------|
C majorC|-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------|

OUTRO

This is really the only instance where tuning to C majorC Standard makes the song easier to play.

D MajorD|----------------------------------|
BB|----------------------------------|
G+G|----------------------------------|
D MajorD|-5----3---------------------------|
A augmentedA|-3----1---------------------------|
E MajorE|-----------7--5/7-10-7---5-7--5p3-|

Repeat this until the end.
