We have an official Howlin For You tab made by UG professional guitarists.

Check out the tab

This tab might seem a bit odd because I broke my high E string a few days
 ago so if you find it easier to play some notes on that string, go ahead.
 It probably has some errors, feel free to comment. You can also improvise a lot so take
this as a guiding line. P.S. USE TREMOLO

Sorry let me correct myself I meant -------------- -------------- -------------- ------5------- -0-7----0-----

I've been trying to get this for awhile and I don"t think any of the tabs are correct, but I think this one is the closest to the way Dan does it. I could be wrong but where everyone is tabbing -0-3--5-0-- on E I think it should be -------------- -------------- -------------- -------------- ------3------- -0-7----0----- try it, sounds good and gets your fingers in good position for majority of following notes.
