We have an official Decibel tab made by UG professional guitarists.
Check out the tab
-hey guys - i wrote this tab out for a single guitar - not two, like
 it is usually played, and i think it sounds a lot better than the two
seperate parts (Angus & Malcolm).  Plz cut me some slack coz its mi first
tab, blah, blah, blah, corrections welcome, blah, blah, blah, and have fun.

Chorus 2
 
You Can Either do:
 
MALCOLM (Easy)
e|--------------------------------------------||
B|--------------------------------------------||
G|--------------------------------------------||
D|------------5--0--7-------5-----7-----------||
A|------5--7--3--0--5----5--3--7--5-----------||

        G  A  C  -  D    G  C  A  D
or..
 
ANGUS (A little Harder But Sounds Better)
e|--------------------------------------------||
B|------------------3-------------3-----------||
G|------0--2-----0--2----------2--2-----------||
D|------0--2--2--0--0-------2--2--0-----------||
A|------0--0--3----------0--3--0--------------||
E|------3-----0----------3--------------------|| Repeat x2
 
        G  A  C  G  D    G  C  A  D
 
Angus ends this chorus on a few fast notes and then slide:
e|--------------------------------------------||
B|--15-15-15-15-15-15-15-15-15-15-15-15\------||
G|--------------------------------------------||
D|--------------------------------------------||
A|--------------------------------------------||
E|--------------------------------------------||
 
e|--------------------------------------------||
B|--------------------------------------------||
G|-------------5---------------7-5----5-0----o||
D|------7-5-7-7-7------------------7-7-------o||
A|-----0---0-0----------------0---0-0---------||
E|--------------------------------------------|| Repeat x2
 
Once again solos aren't my strong points. I can't tell you the exact part
for the solo although once again i'm sure some of the other tabs will have it.
This Angus solo is in A Minor Pentatonic, which the scale for goes like this:
 
e|-----------------------------------------5--8-||
B|-----------------------------------5--8-------||
G|-------------------------5--7--8--------------||
D|-------------------5--7-----------------------||
A|----------5--6--7-----------------------------||
E|----5--8--------------------------------------|| and back down in the same manner   or:
 
e|----------------------------------------------------17--20-||
B|--------------------------------------------17--20---------||
G|--------------------------------17--19--20-----------------||
D|------------------------17--19-----------------------------||
A|------------17--18--19-------------------------------------||
E|----17--20-------------------------------------------------|| this is simply up an octave.
 
 
Chorus 3
 
You Can Either do:
 
MALCOLM (Easy)
e|--------------------------------------------||
B|--------------------------------------------||
G|--------------------------------------------||
D|------------5--0--7-------5-----7-----------||
A|------5--7--3--0--5----5--3--7--5-----------||
E|------3--5-------------3-----5--------------|| Repeat x2
 
        G  A  C  -  D    G  C  A  D
or..
 
ANGUS (A little Harder But Sounds Better)
e|--------------------------------------------||
B|------------------3-------------3-----------||
G|------0--2-----0--2----------2--2-----------||
D|------0--2--2--0--0-------2--2--0-----------||
A|------0--0--3----------0--3--0--------------||
E|------3-----0----------3--------------------|| Repeat x2
 
        G  A  C  G  D    G  C  A  D
 
Then they put in some fills that all up last about 30 seconds. they are in
A minor, but once again if you want the whole solo you will need to take it
from another tab. anyway, after the fills:
 
e|--------------------------------------------||
B|--15-15-15-15-15-15-15-15-15-15-15-15\------||
G|--------------------------------------------||
D|--------------------------------------------||
A|--------------------------------------------||
E|--------------------------------------------||
 
Ending:
 
e|----------------------------------------------------||
B|----------------------------------------------------||
G|----------5-----------2----------5-----------7------||
D|----5--7--5--0--5-----2----5--7--5--0--5-----7------||
A|----5--7--3--0--5-----0----5--7--3--0--5-----5------||
E|----3--5--------3--0-------3--5--------3--0---------|| Repeat x2
