i'm almost 100% certain that this is the completely correct complete tab of the song.
i included the entire harp part as it would be played on a guitar. it's a bit tricky
it was written on a harp. or maybe a keyboard.
i also included the second guitar parts.
beneath the tabs i put the names of the chords. you can use whatever variations you
but these are the ones they use live.

standard tuning: eadgbe
guitar 1: acoustic
guitar 2: electric

intro:

guitar 1/guitar 2:

just strum/hold out while the third guitar makes a bunch of noise.
|--(2)---------0-----------------|
|--(2)---------0-----------------|
|---2----------1-----------------| (x2)
|---4----------2-----------------|
|---4----------2-----------------|
|---2----------0-----------------|
   F#m         E


verse 1:

guitar 1 plays alone:

|--(2)---------0-----------------|
|--(2)---------0-----------------|
|---2----------1-----------------| (x4)
|---4--(x8)----2--(x8)-----------|
|---4----------2-----------------|
|---2----------x-----------------|
   F#m         E

chorus:

guitar 1:

|---0----------4-----------------|
|---2----------5-----------------|
|---2----------6-----------------|  (x3) then:
|---2--(x4)----6--(x4)-----------|
|---0----------4-----------------|
|---x----------4-----------------|
    A         C#m

|---0----------------------------|
|---0----------------------------|

|---x----------------------------|
    E

guitar 2:

|---9----------9-----------------|
|---10--(x4)---9--(x4)-----------|
|---9----------9-----------------|   (x3) then:

harp part for guitar:

(we'll call this harp part a)
|21--19--17---17-16----------------------|
|--17--17--17------17--------------------|
|-------------------------------18-20-21-| (x2)
|----------------------------------------|
|----------------------16-18-19----------|
|--------------------16------------------|

|21--19--17---17-16----------------17-16------------------16--------------------|
|--17--17--17---------------------------17------------17---------------17-19-21-|
|------------------18-----------18------------------16--16----------------------|
|-------------------------------------------14-16-18-----------14-16-18---------|
|----------------------16-18-19-----------14-----------------14-----------------|
|--------------------16---------------------------------------------------------|

repeat whole thing, then to...


verse 2:

guitar 1:
(same as verse 1)
|--(2)---------0-----------------|
|--(2)---------0-----------------|
|---2----------1-----------------| (x4)
|---4--(x8)----2--(x8)-----------|
|---4----------2-----------------|
|---2----------x-----------------|
   F#m         E

guitar 2:

|--------------------------------|
|--------------------------------|
|--------------------------------| (x4)
|--------------------------------|
|--------------------------------|
|-2-(x28)-5-(x4)---0-(x32)-------|

he basically just tremolo picks the F# and the E on the low e in sync with the guitar 1
changes, but adds the A really quick right before he goes to E.


repeat chorus.


repeat verse for verse 3. when guitar 1 cuts out halfway through, guitar 2 just keeps
the same thing it was doing.


repeat chorus. then:


outro:

(harp part b)
|17------------17-16-17-16---------------17----------17-16-17-16----------------17-|
|------------------------------------17-------------------------------------17-----|

|--16-18-19--------------16-18-19------------14-----------------14-----------------|
|16--------------------16----------------------------------------------------------|

repeat, and back to:

(part a)
|21--19--17---17-16----------------------|
|--17--17--17------17--------------------|
|-------------------------------18-20-21-| (x2)
|----------------------------------------|
|----------------------16-18-19----------|
|--------------------16------------------|

|-------------------------------------------14-16-18-----------14-16-18---------|
|----------------------16-18-19-----------14-----------------14-----------------|
|--------------------16---------------------------------------------------------|


repeat, then:

the bass part keeps playing through, but the melody of the harp is:
(part c)
|17-21-16--17-21-16--17-21-16--16-17-16-----------------------------------------|
|-----------------------------------------------------17---------------17-19-21-|
|---------------------------------------------------16--16----------------------|
|-------------------------------------------14-16-18-----------14-16-18---------|
|-----------------------------------------14-----------------14-----------------|
|-------------------------------------------------------------------------------|


back to:
(part a)
|21--19--17---17-16----------------------|
|--17--17--17------17--------------------|
|-------------------------------18-20-21-| (x2)
|----------------------------------------|
|----------------------16-18-19----------|
|--------------------16------------------|

|----------------------16-18-19-----------14-----------------14-----------------|
|--------------------16---------------------------------------------------------|


and back to:

(part b)
|17------------17-16-17-16---------------17----------17-16-17-16----------------17-|
|------------------------------------17-------------------------------------17-----|
|----------------------------------18--18---------------------------------18--18---|

|--16-18-19--------------16-18-19------------14-----------------14-----------------|
|16--------------------16----------------------------------------------------------|


and fade out on harp part a.

ugh. so the full order is:
intro
verse
chorus
verse
chorus
verse
chorus
outro (harp parts b, a, c, a, b, a)

on the chorus when guitar 1 plays the A, he seems to play it the way i tabbed it, but i
it sounds better with the album version to do the barr variation (577655).
if you find any errors, feel free to let me know and i'll fix it 
merci.
