standard tuning, no need to fiddle.
Great song, lots happening, but still very simple.
if you like the song, buy the album!

The Verse goes like this:
e|-------------------------------------------------------------------------|
B|-------------------------------------------------------------------------|
G|-1111--99----1111-99-------------1111-99--1111---------------------------|
D|-1111--99----1111-99--11-11------1111-99--1111--11111111-----------------|
A|-9-9---77----9-9--77--11-11------9-9--77--9-9---11111111-----------------|
E|----------------------9--9----------------------9-9-9-9------------------|
                                               hit these last 2 harder

then the chorus has 2 bits to it:
first part
e|-------------------------------------------------------------------------|
B|-------------------------------------------------------------------------|
G|-------------------------------------------------------------------------|
D|-77777777-77777777-4444444-4444444---------------------------------------|
A|-77777777-77777777-4444444-4444444---------------------------------------|
E|-55555555-55555555-2222222-2222222---------------------------------------|

then the next part goes
e|-------------------------------------------------------------------------|
B|-------------------------------------------------------------------------|
G|-------------------------------------------------------------------------|
D|-99999999-99999/11----1212121212121212---1212121212\11-------------------|
A|-99999999-99999/11----1212121212121212---1212121212\11-------------------|
E|-77777777-77777/-9----1010101010101010---1010101010\-9-------------------|

then the first bridge goes
e|-------------------------------------|-----------------------------------|
B|-------------------------------------|-----------------------------------|
G|--1111-1313--1414--1616--181818------|--1111-1313--1414--1616--18/19\18--|
D|-------------------------------------|-----------------------------------|
A|--9-9--1111--1212--1414--161616------|--9-9--1111--1212--1414--16/17\16--|
E|-------------------------------------|-----------------------------------|

then straight into the second, which is a bit fuzzy but I think goes
                     |full bend  |
e|-------------------------------------------------------------------------|
B|---7-5----7-5---7-7-7777-777-77--7-5---7-5---7-777 dont know how many but|
G|-------6------6----------------------6-----6-------it has lots of fuzz---|
D|-------------------------------------------------------------------------|
A|-------------------------------------------------------------------------|
E|-------------------------------------------------------------------------|

then the kind-of solo

e|-17171717-17171717-19191919-21212121--19191919191919-21212121-19191919---|
B|-------------------------------------------------------------------------|
G|-------------------------------------------------------------------------|
D|-------------------------------------------------------------------------|
A|-------------------------------------------------------------------------|
E|-------------------------------------------------------------------------|

e|-17171717-17171717-19191919-21212121--19191919191919-21212121-21212121---|
B|-------------------------------------------------------------------------|
G|-------------------------------------------------------------------------|
D|-------------------------------------------------------------------------|
A|-------------------------------------------------------------------------|
E|-------------------------------------------------------------------------|

then back to the verse and you're done!
