Hah, an afternoon well spent, and its the first tab that I've managed to
entirely finish as well.

Guitar in standard EADGBE tuning

3 bars empty with just the drums

in the 4th bar make some wierd noises with your
guitar (slide the pick across the strings above the bridge pickup, or
do some random hammerons at the top of the neck)

Intro riff - 2x

(I hope you get the idea... I cant figure out how to tab bends)

Now repeat the intro riff twice again then go directly
into the first 4 bars of the organ part

6x (C#m, A, B, G#m, A, F#m, G#sus4, G#)

with the crowd going into the final chant for the last 4 repeats

and finish with the intro riff

They both pretty much sound the same, but I prefer the second one because you don't
have to move your hand quite as much.

This is the part where the crowd mimics what Joe is playing...

A|---------------------------------------------------------------------------|
E|---------------------------------------------------------------------------|

Now here is where it gets tricky. Joe heavily uses the whammy bar for the next two
parts, and the third one is relatively difficult to explain with text, but I'll try me best.
Here goes...

Depress the whammy bar slightly before hitting the note, then release it to its normal
position. Then right after tighten it so the pitch goes higher, and then depress it once more.
e|------17*--------------------------0**-------------------------------------|
B|------17*--------------------------0**-------------------------------------|
G|------17*--------------------------0**-------------------------------------|
D|----------------------------or---------------------------------------------|
A|---------------------------------------------------------------------------|
E|---------------------------------------------------------------------------|
*Natural harmonics **Pinch harmonics

This one you just slide up and down the G string. But there's a catch. When you slide
up, you depress the whammy bar so that the note stays in the relatively same pitch. When
you go down, you tighten so you can get the same effect.
e|---------------------------------------------------------------------------|
B|---------------------------------------------------------------------------|
G|----2//--14\\--2//--12\\--2//--7\\--0--------------------------------------|
D|---------------------------------------------------------------------------|
A|---------------------------------------------------------------------------|
E|---------------------------------------------------------------------------|

For this one, put your hand over all the strings at any fret so that the strings don't
sound. Then turn your pick sideways as if for a pickslide, but instead rake across the
strings in this order:
e|-------\-----------/-----\-----------/-------------------------------------|
B|--------\---------/-------\---------/--------------------------------------|
G|---------\-------/---------\-------/---------------------------------------|
D|----------\-----/-----------\-----/----------------------------------------|
A|-----------\---/-------------\---/-----------------------------------------|
E|------------\-/---------------\-/------------------------------------------|
Whew! The hard part is over!
OK, with this one you shake the whammy bar a bit while you hit the notes...
e|---------------------------------------------------------------------------|
