So some general notes for this song. First, this is a pretty bare bones version but it should give you a good
start. Second, the Tuning is D A D F# A D, With this tuning except for a few 
exceptions all the chords simply require a full bar for example: 
 d|-D0---G5---A7-|
 A|-0---5---7-| Ect 
F#|-0---5---7-|
 D|-0---5---7-|
 A|-0---5---7-|
 D|-0---5---7-|
Third, You can also play this in E standard as im pretty sure for live versions only Patrick uses this tuning 
and the other guitarists use E standard.  
Fourth, I know this isn't 100% correct, especially the verses and outro, so if you have anything to add to 
this tab post it in the comments.
