We have an official Hey tab made by UG professional guitarists.
Check out the tab
This tab is an amalgam of the tabs by Mark Schnitzius and the unregistered solo tab with
a few corrections, so props to them for being the main brain trust.

said the man to the lady
uh
sad the lady to the man she adored
and the whores like a choir
go uh all night
and mary ain't you tired of this
uh
is
the
sound
that the mother makes when the baby breaks
we're chained

the chorus should be a 10 on e while bending 13 on b.

The tab isn't perfect, but it's so damn close I can't give it 4 stars. Thanks for figuring this out and sharing it with everyone. It's a simple song, but it's so awesome.

For this part of the solo, I prefer to play it like this: e|---------------------------10-10-7-----------------10-10-7------------| B|-----------------------------------10-----7-5h6h7----------10-7-5h6h7-| G|--7-----7-9-10B-----7-9-11--------------------------------------------| D|----------------------------------------------------------------------| A|----------------------------------------------------------------------| E|----------------------------------------------------------------------|
