Tune down 1/2 step
The b's under the TAB are the beats.
All the strings are not always shown, only the necessary ones.

Ok, now the previous two lines of TAB are the verse part. After these
are played a couple times, the song goes into the open E chord part
(actually, since they're tuned down 1/2 step, it's Eb), where the open E
chord is repeated in a kinda weird rhythm. Just listen to the song itself
for the rhythm.
After the open E part, go back and repeat everything up till here, with
some variation in the open E part. Then you go into:
3 times
eb|---------------------------------|------------------------------|
Bb|---------------------------------|------------------------------|
Gb|o-------------------------------o|------------------------------|
Db|o-------------------------------o|---2--------------------------|
Ab|-2---3-------6-------5-----------|---2--------------------------|
Eb|-0---1-------4-------3-----------|---0--------------------------|
b b b b b b b b
He was some- one...etc.
Now, you do the following chords, with some pauses. Listen to the song
for timing.
eb|------------------|------------------|-----|
Bb|------------------|------------------|-----|
Gb|------------------|o----------------o|-----|
Db|------------------|o----------------o|--4--|
Ab|-3---4---7---6----|--4---5---8---7---|--4--|
Eb|-1---2---5---4----|--2---3---6---5---|--2--|
Do that, until this part:
(use the lyrics for timing here)
eb|-----------------------------------------------------|
Bb|-----------------------------------------------------|
Gb|-----------------------------------------------------|
Db|-----------------------------------------------------|
Ab|-4--5--8---7--3---4-----7---6-----2--3----6-----5----|
Eb|-2--3--6---5--1---2-----5---4-----0--1----4-----3----|

Ab|-4-4-4-4-4----7-7-7-7------4-4-4-4-4-4-------------5------|
Eb|-----------------------------------------0-0-0-0---3------|
like rain
(I'm not real sure about that part.)
Anyways, now do this:
Db|-6-5-----3------|
Ab|-4-3-----1---3--|
Eb|-------------1--|
b b
And then do more of the open E (actually Eb) chord stuff. Listen to the
song and you'll see what I mean.
Anyways, all the riffs from now till the end of the song are repeats of
the above riffs, so you're on your own now.
Let me know of any corrections, complaints, etc.
