I've been looking all over for this tab and I couldn't find it anywhere, so
here's something for all the people that think the same thing. The bass is 
pretty important in this song because it provides all the background chords
for the guitar.

Tune down 1/2 step


Intro: 

 GbI--------------I
 DbI--------------I
 AbI--------------I
 EbI---0----------I Just slam an open E at about 0:10 (with drums)


More Intro:

 GbI------------------------------I
 DbI------------------------------I
 AbI-------5----3----5------0-----I
 EbI--0-------------------3---0---I Start this at about 0:15, play each note
                                    at the same time as the drums.


Main Riff:

 GbI------------------------------------------------------------------
 DbI------------------------------------------------------------------
 AbI----------------------------------5-5-5-5-5-5-5-5-5-5-5-5-5-5-5-5-
 EbI-0-0-0-0-0-0-0-0-0-0-0-0-0-0-0-0----------------------------------

 GbI------------------------------------------------------------------
 DbI------------------------------------------------------------------
 AbI-3-3-3-3-3-3-3-3-3-3-3-3-3-3-3-3--5-5-5-5-5-5-5-5-----0-----------
 EbI---------------------------------------------------3-----0--------
     See? These are the same notes just picked faster.


Verse:

 GbI--------------------------               GbI-------
 DbI--------------------------               DbI-------
 AbI-------------------------- 4 times then  AbI-------
 EbI-0--0-0--0-0--0-0-0--0-0--               EbI-3-4-5-
    "There's a black cloud overhead, that's me"


Right after each verse:

 GbI-------------------------------------------------
 DbI-----------------------------------5-5-5---------
 AbI------------------------------------------7-5----
 EbI-5-5-5-5-5--5-5-5-5-5--5-5-5-5-5-----------------


For the chorus, just play the main riff twice.


Solo Riff:

 GbI--------------------------              GbI-------
 DbI--------------------------              DbI-------
 AbI-------------------------- 4 times then AbI-------
 EbI-2--2-2--2-2--2-2-2--2-2--              EbI-2-3-4-
    Play this with the same timing as the verse, just up 2 frets.


Right after solo:

 GbI-----------------------------------------------------

 AbI-7------------7------------7------------7------------
 EbI---0-0-0-0-0----0-0-0-0-0----0-0-0-0-0----0-0-0-0-0--

Then:

Bridge Riff:

 GbI-------------------------------
 DbI-------------------------------
 AbI----0-----0-----0-----0-0------
 EbI-2-----2-----2-----2-------2-0-
    "Look up to me"


After the last chorus, just close out the song with the main riff twice 
and then go into the verse a few times. Start this riff at 5:53 and
play in time with the drums.
