Ok this is one of my favorite songs by Kasabian and the other version on
this site didn't do it justice, so... here's my attempt.
The two chords used are A5 and F (though in the live version he plays an Am
instead of A5 where the riff would normally be, but I think the A5 works better in whole).
e|A5---| |F-x-|
B|-x-| |-1-|
G|-2-| |-2-|
D|-2-| |-3-|
A|-0-| |---|
E|---| |---|
Intro/Verse

D-(2)-(2)----(2)--(2)-- -(3)-(3)----(3)--(3)--|
A---------------------- ----------------------|
E---------------------- ----------------------|
He uses a delay pedal, but since I don't have one, this is the general
pattern. It sounds good to hit the notes in parenthesis occasionally when
you're doing a solo guitar, or you could just strait up play the chords.
Riff (sounds good with lots of reverb and some flange)
e-----------------------------------------------|
B-----------------------------------------------|
G---0-2~----0-2x2h3p2-0----0-2~----0-2x2h3p2-0--|

He doesn't actually play the 1st fret on the E string but I like to use it
to keep the song in key while playing solo.
And no... I didn't have the patience to work out the synth 'solo', but I'm
fairly certain it's more or less an improv around Am pentatonic if you wanna have a go
Lastly! there's a little modified progression right after the synth solo
and right after the final chorus which goes:
e--------------------------------------|
