Tuning: Drop D (DADG)
I've seen a lot of different tabs of this (most of which suck),
but this is the actual, honest-too-goodness version that Nate is playing.
I listened to the Rock Band multi-track to get it, so it's the real deal. It
might seem a little odd to look at compared to the other tabs, but I am
absolutely positive this is correct. Play along and I think you'll agree. If
you know music theory, you'll see that this harmonizes with what the guitar
is playing, as it should.
To match Nate's tone, I'd suggest going heavy on the bass and middle but
pulling back on the treble, and turn your pickup down halfway.
Verse 1:
(Bass comes in at roughly 21 seconds)

Play that until the pre-chorus (right after "and out of my head she sang...")
Pre-chorus:

(It jumps to the chorus part of the way through a measure of the pre-chorus,
so that's why it looks funny.)

Repeat until the pre-chorus again...

The bass cuts out and Dave mutters a bunch of gibberish here. At 3:21, it
comes back in with this:
G|---------------------------------------------------------------------------|
D|---------------------------------------------------------------------------|
A|---------------------------------------------------------------------------|
D|--5--5--5--5--5--5--5--5--7--7--7--7--7--7--7--7--7--7--7--7--7--7--7--7---|
Then it does a modified version of the pre-chorus:
G|---------------------------------------------------------------------------|
D|---------------------------------------------------------------------------|
A|---------------------------------------------------------------------------|
D|--0--0--0--0--0--0--0--0--0--0--0--0--0--0--0--0--0--0--0--0--0--0--0--0--0|
Repeat that until it goes to the chorus again (after "And I wonder...").
Final chorus:
G|---------------------------------------------------------------------------|
D|---------------------------------------------------------------------------|
A|---------------------------------------------------------------------------|
D|--9---9--9--9--9--9--5---5--5---5--5--5------------------------------------|

^Let ring
Well, there you go. Sorry about the length, but I wanted to get it all. The
rhythm is difficult to tab, so you may have to fiddle around to get it, but
I did the best I could. Like I said, this is 100% correct. Happy bass-ing!
