I think you'll find this to be the most accurate tab of this song so far,
all that is missing is the bridge wich is quite hard
So here we go......


                                    3x
e-------------------------------------------------------------------------------|
b-------------------------------------------------------------------------------|
g------4--4---------4--4---------4--4-------------------------------------------|
d------4--4---------4--4---------4--4-------------------------------------------|
a------2--2---------2--2---------2--2-------------------------------------------|
E---------------------------------------------------3-5-3----2-3-2--------------|


Then something that go's like this
                                    2x
e-------------------------------------------------------------------------------|
b-------------------------------------------------------------------------------|
g-------------------------------------------------------------------------------|

E--------3-3-3-3-3-3-3-3--2-2-2-2-2-2-2-2---------------------------------------|

Then comes something like this; a lot of people think B5 is still played here
but it's is not.
                                    2x
e-------------------------------------------------------------------------------|

g-------------------------------------------------------------------------------|

E-------0-0------0-0---3-3--3-3------2-2------2-2--2-2--2-2---------------------|
(the second time the ending is a bit different with the strumming, just listen
to the song)

then....
                                    2x
