I've tried to keep it as close to the studio version as possible. Completely ear-transcribed on
an acoustic guitar. And you can add a CAPO at fret 2 and transpose the chords accordingly, in
case you prefer open chords.

Figured out this tab completely by ear when the album came out. The draft languished on my
desktop since then, and I said I might as well post it here as no one had bothered to properly
tab out each note. Re-checked each part a couple of times when I wrote the tab, so did not check the
whole thing again before submission. Let me know if you feel something's off.
Hope it gives you an idea on how to play the various guitar parts in it. Sorry for my laziness!
