I first heard this track live at Portsmouth Guildhall, and thought i'd try to learn it. 
couldn't find a tab anywhere, so I was forced to listen to the song repeatedly untill i 
play it. I thought I may as well try and get a little credit for my efforts and be the
first to post this tab enjoy

Capo: 4th fret (note: tabbed as though there is no capo, so 0 on bottom E would sound 4)

Tuning: Drop D

FIRST BIT (VERSE)

strum each chord and emphasise the melody on the a string with light struming on others. 
listen to the song for rhythm (as always)

e---X----X------X----X--------X----X--X-X--X-X-X-X-X--------------------|

D---5----5------5----5--(0 0)-5----5--5-5--5-5-5-5-5--------------------|

SLIDY BIT (VERSE PART 2)

Theres a cool sounding yet easy to play slidy bit here. Its easy because you dont need 
of the other fingers, you can just concentrate on the slide: a quick   "strum note - 
up - slide down - pull off" in one fluid motion, while still strumming the other notes.
Just let your right hand continue strumming the chord while the left does the fingerwork.

e---(0)---(0)---(0)--------(0)---(0)---(0)-----------------------------|
b---(0)---(0)---(0)--------(0)---(0)---(0)-----------------------------|

Thats the lot for the verses, untill the end when theres a leading chord into
the chorus: 0

            0
            2

CHORUS:

strings only played), G type thing, A, G type thing Em type thing -

After the chorus there's a little riff that goes

and then back into the verse.
