We have an official Fly By Night tab made by UG professional guitarists.
Check out the tab
Tabbed by: BASSteve
 
Tuning: EADG
 
Time signature: 4/4
 
*My tabs are meant to be read in conjunction with listening to the song.
In other words, there are no specific notations to account for note/rest duration.
However, you will find that I've made an attempt to strategically space the notes
and rests within their respective measures in order to represent the appropriate
durations.
