We have an official Smokin tab made by UG professional guitarists.

Check out the tab

[Intro] goes like this:
e|---------------------|--------------------------------------|

G|----2----2---2-----2-|--------------------------------------|
D|----2----2-----------|--------------------------------------|
A|-0----0--------3h4---|--------------------------------------|
E|---------------------|--------------------------------------|
 
[Verse] goes like this:
e|------------------------------------------------|-----------|
B|------------------------------------------------|-----------|
G|--2--2-4--4-2--2-4--4-2--2-4--4-2-5--Intro lick-|-----------|
D|--0--0-0--0-0--0-0--0-0--0-0--0-0-5-------------|-----------|
A|----------------------------------3-------------|-----------|
E|------------------------------------------------|-----------|
 
[Pre-chorus] part is:
e|-----------------------(0)-(0)------------------------------|
B|------------3--3-3-----(0)-(0)--------3---------------------|
G|------------2--2-2--2-----------5--0--2--Intro lick---------|

A|------2--2----------0---2---2---3---------------------------|
E|--3b4-0--0--------------0---0------3------------------------|
 
[Chorus]                                                 1.2.
e|------------------------------------------------------|-|--|
B|---------------------------3-3------------------------|-|--|
G|--4b6b4p2---2-2--4b6b4p2-2-2-2---5-5--7-7\----------2-|2|0-|
D|----------4-2-2----------0-0-0---5-5--7-7\--2h4p2---2-|2|0-|
A|------------0-0------------------3-3--5-5\--------3-0-|0|--|
E|------------------------------------------------------|-|3-|
 
The 1. and 2. means that the A power chord gets played first time
through, and the G gets played second time. After the first chorus,
we go back to the intro/verse stuff. After  the second chorus, we
go to the bridge/solo:
 
e|----|--------------|-------------|--------------------------|
B|--3-|---5--7-------|-------------|--------------------------|
G|--2-|---5--7--vamp-|--intro vamp-|--------------------------|
D|--0-|---5--7-------|-------------|--------------------------|
A|----|---0--0-------|-------------|--------------------------|
E|----|--------------|-------------|--------------------------|
 
The vamp stuff just means play random riffs along the mentioned
motiffs. It's very improv. The solo ends with:
 
e|------------------------|----------------------|------------|
B|------------------------|----------------------|------------|
G|--2---------------------|-3--2--0--2--3--2-0-2-|------------|
D|--2---------------------|-3--2--0--2--3--2-0-2-|------------|
A|--0---0--0-0--0-0-0-0-0-|-1--0-----0--1--0---0-|------------|
E|------------------------|-------3----------3---|------------|
 
e|--------------------------------|------------|-------------|
B|--------------------------------|------------|-------------|
G|--0-----------------2-----------|-intro vamp-|-verse vamp--|
D|--0--3--------------2-----------|------------|-------------|
A|-----3-----5--3--1--0--2.....-0-|------------|-------------|
E|--3--1--0-----------------------|------------|-------------|

If this tab were a little bit better organized and had more than, "improv here", it would be a lot easier to use, but even on top of that, great tab man! I might get my band to use this.

This tab is totally correct It is a very fast song so start slow and learn the progressions then speed up and listen to the song. When you can match the speed it will sound correct. Plan at least 2-3 hours for 2-3 days for an intermediate player to learn this at the correct speed.

I play the intro like this:let the open A ring through; bar the D & G strings with your first finger and just lift it up to mute, don't palm mute; then use an upward stroke when picking the last two A Notes on each end of the hamer-on. -------------------- -------------------- ---2-x-2--2----2---- ---2-x-2------------ -0----(0)---3h4----- --------------------
