  Okay, another tab i am changing slightly... simplifying the hard parts, taking out
  the parts i had in my tab that were actually played by the bass, and adding a different
  version of the chorus which is what Jack plays live rather than the little country soundng
  lick on the album... enjoy...
  
  
  special tab sign => and )'s mean the notes are quickly muted..!!

  on the last repetition of this verse riff use FILL 2 from below after the
  F# bass note to move back to verse riff 1...
  
  some examples of fills that can replace the G# chord
  FILL 1               FILL 2            FILL 3

  so just fuck around with those, and any others are just variations on that anyhow...
  
  then the fun part... the CHORUS...
  
  ----0~--0-0-----0~---0---0---0----2---2-2-----2---2---2---2-

  --0-0~--------------------------2-2-------------------------
  
  A much easier version of the chorus can be played, like Jack does it when he plays live..
  ----0)----------0)----2)-----------2)--

  then just descending major bar chords with the root on the 6th string
  (ie the E shape)
  
  CHORD: B / G# / F# / E  x3
  FRET:  7   4    2    0
  then
  CHORD: B / G# / G ~~~
  FRET:  7   4    3 and hold
  
  in case you don't know the terms above the shape for the B (7th fret) is
  
  e|-7-|
  b|-7-|   So just start with that, then move it down to the 4th fret etc.
  g|-8-|
  d|-9-|
  a|-9-|
  E|-7-|
