We have an official Getaway Car tab made by UG professional guitarists.
Check out the tab
Started trying to figure this song out before reviewing any other tabs.  I went with drop D tuning.
I chose to play a version that sounded good rather than over complicating to be absolutely perfect.
There are some chromatic notes and octive tones that I'll put in parenthesis.
I like them but don't hear in original recording. I'm happy with this version but open to suggestions.
 
No bass during intro/verse 1 0:00-0:46:
 
 
 
[Chorus 1 starting at 0:46]
 
G|-------------------------------------------(9)----|
D|-----------(3)------------(7)---------------------|
A|-3--------------------------------------7---------|
E|-----3-2-3------2---3-2-0------5--7--9------------|

D|---------------------------(3)------------(7)---------------|
A|--------0------------------------------------------------7--|
D|--3--5------0--5--7---3-2-3------2---3-2-0------5--7--9-----|
 
There is a quick transition between the chorus and verse.
Where you see the 7 above and the 5 below on the A string play a quick down-walk:
 
G|-------------|
D|-------------|
A|----7-6-5----|
D|-------------|
 
 
[Verse 2]

[Chorus 2 - slight variation from Chorus 1]

Per the official tab it's on a 5 string but maybe you already knew that.
