Original transcription by Yngve, revised by suuuupaadave.
Tuning - DADGBd (Double drop D)
There are many grace notes or passing tones between chords that bridge the gap. These are played throughout the verse and the prechorus and various points. Many of these may be demonstrated in an upcoming "Lesson a Week" video.
Note, the F chord is most correctly named Fadd6b5 because of the two open notes, but for the sake of easy reading I've just named it F.
