This isn't on any of their albums, but is usually in their live set.
This song has quite a few different bits to it, so, to avoid confusion,
here is the order of the parts you play: A-B-C-D-E-B-F. Some lines are
repeated, so below the tab of each part I have listed how many times
they should be played. There's a lot to this song, so bear with me on this.
Part A: the Intro
e-------------------------------------------------------------5----------8---7h8p7---5----------------8--7--5---
b-------------------------------------1---0-------------------------------------------------------------------------
g----2------1p0 1p0- 2-------2-------------2-----------------------------------------------------2--------------
d--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Part B: the next bit
e---------------------------------------
b---10---10-8-7-8---7h8p7---------
g----------------------------------9---
d---------------------------------------
play this twice, then play-
e----12--12-10-9-10----9h10p9-----------------
b--------------------------------------10------7---
g---------------------------------------------------
d---------------------------------------------------
and then play the beginning of part B once only
Part C
this can be played 2 ways, which are both tabbed here. They sound the same, so it's purely a matter of preference.
Version 1:
play this fairly quickly
e------------------------------------------------------------------
b---------------1-------------------------------------------------
g----2--0--2------2--0------0------------------------2---------
d--------------------------2------2---0------0-------------------
a------------------------------------------2------0---------------
E-----------------------------------------------------------------
this is played 3 times, and then you play this-
{tempo slows on last 4 notes}
e--------------------------------------------
b----------------1---------------------------
g----2--0--2----------0--------------------
d-------------------------------0------------
a---------------------------------------0- let ring
E--------------------------------------------
Alternatively, you can play -
Version 2
e------------------------------------------------------------
b------------------------------------------------------------
g---------------5-------------------------------------------
d----7--5--7------7--5------5--------------------------7-
a--------------------------7------7--5------5--------------
E----------------------------------------7-------5---------
play this 3 times, and then play-
{same tempo change as in version 1}
e---------------------------------------
b---------------------------------------
g---------------5----------------------
d---7--5--7---------5-----------------
a----------------------------5----------
E-----------------------------------5--
But wait, there's more-
Part D:
e--------5-------------
b---5--------let ring- play this 8 times, then-
e-----5-5-5-5--x-x-x-x-x---5-5-5-5--x-x-x-x-x--5-5-5-8-8--x-x-x-x---
b-----5-5-5-5--x-x-x-x-x---5-5-5-5--x-x-x-x-x--5-5-5-5-5--x-x-x-x---
This isn't exact, but pretty damn close. Whitt alternates between the
2 different mini-chords and muffled strings for a bit, and then plays
e---5p/h5--repeated for a bit, before easing into-
Part E:
e---5-5-5--8-7----5-5-5--8-7----5-5-5--8-7----5-5-5--8-7----5--hold, then begin part B-----
b----------------8---------------8---------------8---------------8--------------------------------------
Part F:
(this is played after the second round of Part B)
e-----------------------------------------
b--------------------7--------------10--hold
g---9--------9-------------10----------
