This is got to be Massive Attacks best song.
Use lot's of distortion and bass

This bass line is played throughout song

G----------------------------|
D----------------------------| Repeat
A----------------------------|
E---8--8--8--8-8-8--8--8--10-|

The first guitar part, which comes in after the vocals stop the first
time, is played like this a few times through before fading out.
(after the line "Bring me love") It then comes in again after the line
"Neutralize every man in sight"

e--------------------------------------------------------------------|
B--------------------------------------------------------------------|
G--------------------------------------------------------------------|
D--------------------------------------------------------------------|
A---15--15--15--15--etc----------------------------------------------|
E--------------------------------------------------------------------|

Then the second, distorted guitar part comes in after the previous part
has built up for a while, after the line "Love ya" is repeated a bunch
of times.

e--------------------------------------------------------------------|
B--------------------------------------------------------------------|
G--------5/-10---17\-8---5/-10---------------------------------------|
D---10---5/-10---17\-8---5/-10---------------------------------------|
A---10---3/-8----15\-6---3/-8----------------------------------------|
E---8----------------------------------------------------------------|

The first time through you can kinda just play it like that, let the
chords ring out but the second time you kinda have to pick at it, I
suppose improvise and kinda hack at the chords, just hit random notes
and stuff, you've heard the song so you know what I mean, make it sound
messy. After the first time through there's this fill.

e----------------------------------------|
B----------------------------------------|
G---17\-X-X-X-X---17-17\-X-X-X--17\------|
D---17\-X-X-X-X---17-17\-X-X-X--17\------|
A---15\-X-X-X-X---15-15\-X-X-X--15\------|
E-------X-X-X-X----------X-X-X-----------|

Then after the second it just plays the high C;
e--------|
B--------|
G---17---|
D---17---|
A---15---|
E--------|

Then again in the verse there's just a heap of effects, lots of delay, reverb,
just kinda ambient noises etc.

Then after the line "Come from way above" the guitar comes in and follows the
bass
