This is my first tab so I hope it's ok. I tried to include time stamps where I thought it might improve the tab's clarity, but it's a relatively simple and repetitive song with only a few distinct parts. I've also tried to tab the bass part for the chorus as that's where it's most prominent.Was this info helpful?
Difficulty: intermediate
Tuning: E A D G B E

This song is made up of very distinct parts, however the structure towards
the end gets a bit confusing so I've tried to include time stamps to make
it as simple as possible to follow.
 
[Intro and Verse] (main riff)
e|---------------------------------------------------------------------------|
B|-5~--5/12--10-8-8-8\7~--0/10-8-7-8-8\5~------------------------------------|
G|---------------------------------------------------------------------------|
D|---------------------------------------------------------------------------|
A|---------------------------------------------------------------------------|
E|---------------------------------------------------------------------------|
 
[Pre-chorus] (0:42)
e|---------------------------------------------------------------------------| x2
B|---------------------------------------------------------------------------|
G|-4-3-2---------------------------------------------------------------------|
D|-------5--2-2---0h2p0---0-2------------------------------------------------|
A|----------------------2----------------------------------------------------|
E|---------------------------------------------------------------------------|
 
(then bass comes in and they both play this riff)
e|---------------------------------------------------------------------------| x3
B|---------------------------------------------------------------------------|
G|---------------------------------------------------------------------------|
D|---------------0h2---0-2---------------------------------------------------|
A|-2-1-0-------------2-------------------------------------------------------|
E|-------3--0-0--------------------------------------------------------------|
 
and then finish on:
e|---------------------------------------------------------------------------| x1
B|---------------------------------------------------------------------------|
G|---------------------------------------------------------------------------|
D|---------------------------------------------------------------------------|
A|-2-1-0---------2/12\-------------------------------------------------------|
E|-------3--0-0--------------------------------------------------------------|
 
[Chorus]
For bass
G|-------------------------5-5-4-0-------------------------------------------| x2
D|---------5-5---------7-----------------------------------------------------|
A|-----5-------3-4-5-5---5---------------------------------------------------|
E|-3-3---3-------------------------------------------------------------------|
 
G|---------------------------------------------------------------------------|
D|----------9-9-7------------9-9-7-------------9-9-7------------10-10-9-7----|
A|-7-7-10-7-------10-----6---------10-7-7-10-7-------10-----7----------------|
E|-------------------7-7---7----------------------------8-8---8--------------|
 
and repeat
 
Second time around the guitar comes in
e|-777777--5-5-555--777777--5-55555--777777--7-7-777--777777--8-8-888--------|
B|-888888--7-7-777--888888--7-77777--888888--7-7-777--888888--8-8-888--------|
G|-777777--7-7-777--777777--7-77777--999999--8-8-888--999999--9-9-999--------|
D|---------------------------------------------------------------------------|
A|---------------------------------------------------------------------------|
E|---------------------------------------------------------------------------|
 
Then back to verse riff followed by pre-chorus and then chorus
Only variation is that in the second riff of the second pre-chorus (2:10) they play:
e|---------------------------------------------------------------------------|
B|---------------------------------------------------------------------------|
G|---------------------------------------------------------------------------|
D|---------------------------------------------------------------------------|
A|-2-1-0--------0-0-1-2------------------------------------------------------|
E|-------3--0-0--------------------------------------------------------------|
 
Then after second chorus play clean version of this riff (2:48):
e|---------------------------------------------------------------------------|
B|---------------------------------------------------------------------------|
G|-4-3-2-------------------------4-3-2---------------------------------------|
D|-------5--2-2---0h2p0---0-2----------5-------------------------------------|
A|----------------------2----------------------------------------------------|
E|---------------------------------------------------------------------------|
 
followed by
e|---------------------------------------------------------------------------| x2
B|---------------------------------------------------------------------------|
G|-4-3-2---------------------------------------------------------------------|
D|-------5--2-2---0h2p0---0-2------------------------------------------------|
A|----------------------2----------------------------------------------------|
E|---------------------------------------------------------------------------|
 
leading into
[Bridge] Slight variation on first riff (3:03)
e|---------------------------------------------------------------------------|
B|-7~--7/12--10-8-8-8\7~--0/8-5h7p5~-----------------------------------------|
G|---------------------------------------------------------------------------|
D|---------------------------------------------------------------------------|
A|---------------------------------------------------------------------------|
E|---------------------------------------------------------------------------|
 
Then back into the last chorus
Followed by main bass riff with outro on top
 
[Outro]
e|---------------------------------------------------------------------------|
B|-7~--7/12--10-8-8-8\7~--0/8-5h7p5~--3h5p3---3-5----------------------------|
G|------------------------------------------4--------------------------------|
D|---------------------------------------------------------------------------|
A|---------------------------------------------------------------------------|
E|---------------------------------------------------------------------------|
 
And that's it! Not too difficult. The hardest part in my opinion is trying to get
the structure right at the end. It definitely helps to listen to the song as you go.
