This is tablature — fret positions rather than chord names. Wide lines scroll sideways on their own, so the page never does.

Intro Bass

G|---------------------------------||
D|----------2--3--2----------------||
A|----0--3-----------3--2--0-------||
E|---------------------------------||(x3)
G|---------------------------------||
D|---------------------------------||
A|----0-0-0-0-0-0-0-0-0------------||
E|---------------------------------||

If you're playing without a bass, you can mute this riff

on your guitar. Common sense.

Now, there's a buzzing sound under the bass in the intro.

That can simply be duplicated with an A.

Intro guitar (Optional)

E|----------------------------||
B|----------------------------||
G|----------------------------||
D|---2------(Bass Riff Plays)-||
A|---0------------------------||
E|----------------------------||(x4)

Ok. One more optional thing. Throughout the song, there's this

descending riff that's repeated. That's a keyboard going down half

notes, but I played it with harmonics on stage. It just isn't as

long as the keyboard riff, for lack of harmonic notes to play, but

it sounds really pretty and spices up the song.

[Descending Riff] (Optional)

E|---------12*---------------------------------------||
B|-----7*-----------12*------------------------------||
G|--------------7*-----------12*---------------------||
D|-----------------------7*-----------12*------------||
A|--------------------------------7*-----------12*---||
E|-----------------------------------------7*--------||

Now, that was mostly just little stuff. Intro's done. You can play

the verses and chorus' with a number of effects. I'd recommend using

vibrato with a high rate, so it gives a shimmer. But it's up to you.

Anyways, here's the song:
