I am tabbing it from memory but I guarantee its right.

E, G6, F#7sus4, Fmaj7#11, C, Bsus4, F5............ The end of the song is cool also. That great distorted guitar comes back into this acoustic song and probably plays this: b--10--10--10--10--10--10--10--10--I g--11--11--11--11--11--11--11--11--I b--10--10--10--10--10--10--10--10--I g--12--12--12--12--12--12--12--12--I b--10--10--10--10--10--10--10--10--I g--10--10--10--10--10--10--10--10--I b--10--10--10--10--10--10--10--10--I g---9---9---9---9---9---9---9---9--I b--10--10--10--10--10--10--10--10--I g--11--11--11--11--11--11--11--11--I b--10--10--10--10--10--10--10--10--I g--12--12--12--12--12--12--12--12--I b--10--10--10--10--10--10--10--10--I g--10--10--10--10--10--10--10--10--I b--5---5---5---5---5---5---5---5---I g--5---5---5---5---5---5---5---5---I These are all sixteenth notes.... ....This about all you need but if you have trouble with the tab you know where to reach me. On the solo you bend 13th fret a full step-- --which sounds like 15th fret of course. And it sounds better if you slide directly to the next note without hitting it.
