Standard tuning of EADGBE
This contains the tab for the studio version: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7ZguAEoNpZw
With some tidbits from the live version because ur worth it xx: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-NxV_nqD1N0
Chords for the bulk of the song:
E|-----------------------------|
B|---5------8------7------7----|
G|---5------8------7------7----|
D|---5------9------7------7----|
A|-----------------------------|
E|-----------------------------|
which I think are C major, Baug5 and D major (not sure about this last one, it seems to function as a tonic of
some kind but the song's in E? hmu if you figure out what's going on here, see below tab for a discussion)
Riffs (in approximate order)
The x's here are muted above the 12th fret, you can swap out the hammer on for a slide if you'd like!

Solo:
Kudos to taitaih1234 for some of this, there are a couple of places where we've transcribed it differently.
Check his out for alternate positioning/riffs. There's a lot of dotted rhythms here which I've tried to show,
basically hang the notes with dots a hair longer

if you want to do improv use E aeolian sharpening the 7th for a grace note to add a bit of jazz (this is
what's happening at the start of the solo)

Legend:
p - pull off
h - hammer on
\ or / - slide down or up
~ - hold the note/let it ring, not vibrato but hey vibrato if you want, it'd sound good in this song
x - muted note/accoustic
x3 - repeat three times (not muted note then 3rd fret)
() - optional
About the key, so perhaps the easiest way of thinking about it is as a song which is played in G major but
the aeolian mode is used for improv purposes. This makes more sense of the chords - you instead get a 4-3aug-5
progression as opposed to 6maj-5aug-7maj(!). To say that the D-major is the tonic is perhaps a bit strong,
however it's the next major on the circle of fifths, so if you view the Baug5 as a Gaug5 in second inversion
instead you could argue that the progression is just a repeated modulation between G and D? This is backed up
by how the solo doesn't rule out E dorian completely, so incorporating that in your improv might work too?
Have a play, and if anything works particularly well let us know with a comment. :)
