I've just sat down and worked this out. I have a habit of writing down tabs for loads of
songs on scraps of paper which i then lose! So i thought it would be best to get this
one "archived" as soon as possible!

Quite an easy song, great album! Hopefully more tabs from it to come!

Intro - One note at the beginning.

G|---|
D|---|
A|---|
E|-5-|

Held for a bar or or so then the guitar comes back in. The bass then comes in with:
                                      or 7th fret on A
G|-----------------|-----------------|-----------------|-----------------|
D|-----------------|-----------------|-----------------|-----------------|
A|-----------------|-----------------|-----------------|-------------5-5-|
E|-3-3-3-3-3-3-3-3-|-3-3-3-3-3-3-3-3-|-0-0-0-0-0-0-0-0-|-0-0-0-0-0-0-----|

Repeat. The last time it changes to:


G|-----------------|-----------------|-----------------|-----------------|
D|-----------------|-----------------|-----------------|-----------------|
A|-----------------|-----------------|-----------------|-----------------|
E|-3-3-3-3-3-3-3-3-|-3-3-3-3-3-3-3-3-|-0-0-0-0-0-0-0-0-|-5-5-5-5-5-5-5-5-|

Verse - then changes to this

G|-----------------|-----------------|-----------------|-----------------|
D|-----------------|-----------------|-----------------|-----------------|
A|-4-4-4-4-4-4-4-4-|-----------------|-----------------|-----------------|
E|-----------------|-3-3-3-3-3-3-3-3-|-5-5-5-5-5-5-5-5-|-5-5-5-5-5-5-5-5-|

G|-----------------|-----------------|-----------------|-----------------|
D|-----------------|-----------------|-----------------|-----------------|
A|-3-3-3-3-3-3-3-3-|-----------------|-----------------|-----------------|
E|-----------------|-3-3-3-3-3-3-3-3-|-5-5-5-5-5-5-5-5-|-5-5-5-5-5-5-5-5-|

Play this a few times then..

Chorus - this is just the intro part again.

                                      or 7th fret on A
G|-----------------|-----------------|-----------------|-----------------|
D|-----------------|-----------------|-----------------|-----------------|
A|-----------------|-----------------|-----------------|-------------5-5-|
E|-3-3-3-3-3-3-3-3-|-3-3-3-3-3-3-3-3-|-0-0-0-0-0-0-0-0-|-0-0-0-0-0-0-----|

Repeat. The last time it changes to:


G|-----------------|-----------------|-----------------|-----------------|
D|-----------------|-----------------|-----------------|-----------------|
A|-----------------|-----------------|-----------------|-----------------|
E|-3-3-3-3-3-3-3-3-|-3-3-3-3-3-3-3-3-|-0-0-0-0-0-0-0-0-|-5-5-5-5-5-5-5-5-|

Verse - this verse differs as the guitar chords are now palm muted. There is some slight
differences in the bass but it's barely noticeable to the previous verse. The bass
follows the palm muted guitar pretty closely. Octaves are used sometimes so just throw 
them in as appropriate.


G|-----------------|-----------------|-----------------|-----------------|
D|-----------------|-----------------|-----------------|-----------------|
A|-4-4-4-4-4-4-4-4-|-----------------|-----------------|-----------------|
E|-----------------|-3-3-3-3-3-3-3-3-|-5-5-5-5-5-5-5-5-|-5-5-5-5-5-5-5-5-|

G|-----------------|-----------------|-----------------|-----------------|
D|-----------------|-----------------|-----------------|-----------------|
A|-3-3-3-3-3-3-3-3-|-----------------|-----------------|-----------------|
E|-----------------|-3-3-3-3-3-3-3-3-|-5-5-5-5-5-5-5-5-|-5-5-5-5-5-5-5-5-|

Chorus - This is exactly the same as before.

Bridge - Just E notes. The rhythm below is approximate.

G|--------------------|
D|--------------------|
A|--------------------|
E|-0--0-0-0--0-0--0-0-|

The last time it's just this -

G|-----------------|
D|-----------------|
A|-----------------|
E|-0-0-0-0-0-0-0-0-|

Then back to the chorus.

That's it!
