We have an official Campus tab made by UG professional guitarists.
Check out the tab
This is an arrangement for solo acoustic that tries to mimic the instrumental parts in
the song. I just did this by ear.
I recorded this here: (YOUTUBE) http://bit.ly/lOZ568  I used capo 2 on the recording, so
it's in A instead of G, as the tab is.
 
Alternate up-down picking for these, pretty simple.

Not necessarily a correction but here's a much simpler way to play the intro riff: e|---------------------------------| B|---------------------------------| G|---0---0---0---0----0---0---0---0| D|------------------0---2---4---5--| A|---------2---3-------------------| E|-3---5---------------------------|

Great tabs! Took me two days to learn, and I am satisfied. Just commented on your youtube vid earlier. Thanks for the tabs!
