Put this together back in the day when I attempted to cover the song and couldn't find
a decent pre-existing version. It is my first and only venture into transciption.
I found a number of inversions that are just as easy to play but this worked well for me.
Hope you enjoy it!
 
[Guitar 1]
Intro/verse/chorus (alternate picking makes the string skipping easier,
                    you want to let it ring out)

Outro/bridge-overdub (you'll have to listen to get the timing on this one)

The bass lines are played on a piccolo bass. If you don't have one it still sounds
fine and if you really wanted you could use a pitch shifter to move it up an octave.
 
[Bass 1]
Verse/chorus (you can add extra plucks on the first 7, 10 and 8
              but its the kick drum that gives that impression)
G|--------------------------7----|
D|---------------------/7h9---9--|
A|--/7----5--/10-----------------|
E|----------------8--------------|
 
Bridge (there is a piano line that mimics most of these notes,
        listen for the timing, its quite slow)
G|----------------0-----------------------------------------------------|
D|----------4-------------------------9~----10~--12~--------------------|
A|--7~----7---7-----------------7---------------------10~----9~---------|
E|----------------------7~----7---7------------------------------7h8-7--|
 
[Bass 2]
Bridge-overdub (its a steady continuous pluck here, i just
                added spaces to make counting easier)
G|------------------------------------------|
D|------------------------------------------|

Thats it, I'll leave it to you to figure out when to play all these parts, its pretty
obvious. Peace!
