We have an official Scum tab made by UG professional guitarists.
Check out the tab
E - eighth
Q - quarter
H - half
W - full
 
Tempo differs throughout the song.
 
It's my first tab, hope it's understandable and correct. There might be some issues with my English also.
 
 
Guitar enters after two repeated drums and bass phrases.
