We have an official This Is The Last Time tab made by UG professional guitarists.

Check out the tab

i think this song is in Eb, i don't have the best ear and this is mostly rough work but
it should be enough to spark someone more talented to tab it out properly

Much better than my tab :p Thanks for this! Great song.

The studio recording does indeed have an Eb Bass note; don't sell your ear short! The live version is played entirely differently to the album recording. It's done an octave up (probably for the convenience of attaching a capo as opposed to having to entirely re-tune the guitar between songs. I personally play this song in a variation of Bb Modal tuning: Eb-F-Bb-G-Bb-Eb I've written my own tab for it, pending approval. The other tabs are for the live version which I don't think sounds as rich or powerful as the Album version.

You were pretty close on this one, but they play it with a capo on the 3rd fret. Here is a video of them playing it live to help you out. I would tab it, but I just don't have the time or patients. https://www.npr.org/event/music/190382702/the-national-tiny-desk-concert?sc=fb&cc=fmp
