This is a great and easy to play song... I didn't tab it perfect for you,
you've still got to figure out some small things...but you'll be able to play the song now!

Tuning... Drop D, then tune down 1 half step. 
(Db,Ab,Db,Gb,Bb,Eb)


This is the songs basic riff, this is what it opens with... 
Riff 1
|-------------------------|
|-------------------------|
|-------------------------|
|0---0-0-0-8-8-5-5-(5)-(5)|
|0---0-0-0-8-8-5-5-(5)-(5)|
|0---0-0-0-8-8-5-5-(5)-(5)| Play 8 times (?)

|----|
|----|
|----|
|0---|
|0---|
|0---| Let this chord ring out...

Then, hit when you turned your guitars volume down:

Bb|-15| 

and slowly open your volumeknob


Basic verse-riff
Riff 2
|---------------------------|
|---------------------------|
|---------------------------|
|---------------------------|
|-5-------------------------|
|----8---5h7p5--3-3---0-0---|


Play Riff 1


During "I miss the...simple things in life", play:
(You've got to figure out the strumming pattern yourself, 
but don't be affraid, it ain't hard)
Riff 3
|-----------------------|
|11-----10-----8--------|
|10-----10-----7--------|
|8------10-----5-----3-3|
|8------8------5-----3-3|
|8-------------5-----3-3|

After the first time you played this, play the same chords again, 
but then fool around while toggeling the strings. Below is just a basic 
toggle scheme. 

|----------------|------------------|-------------------------|
|-----11---------|------10----------|-----8-------------------|
|-----10---------|------10-10----10-|-----7-------------------|
|----------------|---10-------10----|------------------5-5-3-3|
|---8------------|8-----------------|---5--------------5-5-3-3|
|8---------------|------------------|5-----------------5-5-3-3|

Play Riff 1 again.

|----|
|----|
|----|
|0---|
|0---|
|0---| Let this chord ring out...

Play Riff 2

Play Riff 1

Play Riff 3

Play Riff 2 (play 4 times)

Then, Solo:
(Piece of cake, just play the the blues-schemes your learned from your teacher :) )
note: Bends are full bends!
|-----------------8-10~---8-8--------------------|
|--------------8-------------11-10-8-8s6--6-6s8~~|
|7b--7------5h7----------------------------------|
|--------5h7-------------------------------------|
|------------------------------------------------|
|------------------------------------------------|

|---------------------------------------------------------------|
|-------------------------------------------6--8-8b--8-6-5------|
|----------------------------------------5h7--------------------|
|-s7--7-7-s8--8-8-s7--7-7-s5--5-5--7--5h7------------------7s8s7|
|---------------------------------------------------------------|
|---------------------------------------------------------------|

so...easy huh? I'm not sure if it's 100% correct, but it's close!
of course, listen for perfect timing! 

After solo, let last tone ring...while second guitar plays:
|-------------------------|
|-------------------------|
|7--------------------0--0|
|7----8-8------3-3----0--0|
|5----8-8------3-3----0--0|
|-----8-8------3-3----0--0|
Second time it's played, you join (or, if you didn't play the solo, play both times)


after last chord....wait exact 6 beats... then play

|----------|
|----------|
|----------|
|-5-5-3-3-3|
|-5-5-3-3-3|
|-5-5-3-3-3|

Repeat Riff 1, then after you played 2 times riff 1, they started palm-muting the same riff.
I haven't figure out that strumming patern yet..I'll leave it up to you..

End:

let last chord ring, wait 2 beats:

|----------------------|
|----------------------|
|----------------------|
|3--3--0--0----0-0--0-0|
|3--3--0--0----0-0--0-0|
|3--3--0--0----0-0--0-0|

that shouldn't be that hard...enjoyed it? then play it again! :)
