Right this is a modified version of Peter Palmer's tab,
which sounds good to me apart from the intro, which is
just way out I think.  It doesn't go low enough.  So
for this song tune one whole step down.  I seem to
remember her barring the 6th fret in the video, which
is what the tab I modified said, but this sounds better
to me.

they change this riff during the
song sometimes,  with hammer ons
and pull offs instead of slides

D|----------------7/9/7-7/9/7------|

A|--9-9-9-9--7-7-7-7-----12-12-12----x-x---|
E|--7-7-7-7--------------------------x-x---|
 
At the end of the chorus riff you hit 10
muted strokes quickly.

This is my tab, just i changed my name cos it was all messed. The tab still works, just I should have said to tune 1/2 step down instead of a full step. Thats not actually how they play it though, Kim barres the 6th fret. So I don't know what the deal is, maybe the bass is tuned down, and thats why the intro sounds like that. Or maybe I'm drunk or something.
