Good song.  It needs a good tab.

first you have your basic barre chords

C#.....Ab.....F#

that progression is played through the whole song...listen to it, you will see what 
I mean.

then there is the inrto and solo


e----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
b----------------------------------------------------------------------------------6-9~--9-9-6-------
g------------------------------------------------------------6-6-6-6-6h8p6-6---6-8-------------8-8---
d---------------------------------------------6-6h8-6---6-6h8-------------8--------------------------
a--6/8-6-----4h6-6/8--8-8/6-6/4--4h6p4--4-6/8---------8----------------------------------------------
E--------9-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

e---------9h11p9-9h11p9-9h11p9-9h11p9~~----------(---------------------------)
b----6-9--9h11p9-9h11p9-9h11p9-9h11p9~~-----6-9~-(6-6-6----------------------)
g--8------------------------------------6-8------(-----8~--8-8-8--6~~6h8p6---)
d------------------------------------------------(---------------------------)
a------------------------------------------------(---------------------------)
E------------------------------------------------(---------------------------)

thats your intro

the solo is more or less exactly the same only take the part in the () and replace it with


e----------9h11p9-9h11p9-9h11p9-9h11p9~-
b-9-6--6-9-9h11p9-9h11p9-9h11p9-9h11p9~-
g----8----------------------------------
d---------------------------------------
a---------------------------------------
E---------------------------------------


and lastly the outro

very fast
e-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
b--14-14h16p14-14-14h16p14-----14-14h16p14-14h16p14------11h14p11 11h14p11-11h14p11--11h14p11----14---
g--------------------------15-----------------------15----------------------------------------13------(X2)
d-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
a-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
E-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

then you finish if off with!
e------------------------------------------------------------------------4-
b----9----9--(Do that a crap load of times)------12----------------------6-
g-11b--11b----------------------------------11b13(hold bend)-b13b11-9----6-
d------------------------------------------------------------------------6-
a------------------------------------------------------------------------4-
E--------------------------------------------------------------------------

thats the whole song, im pretty sure its almost 100% correct the intro and solo are right 
on the first part
of the outro might not be completly right but its pretty close.  Tips: let your chords 
ring often.

HAVE FUN!
