 There are a couple of other tabs here that have done the first bit and the 
 chorus ok but no one had the third verse done right so I worked it out myself.


 Intro/1st verse
           *
 e-------3-|------------------------------3-----
 B-------3-|-----------6---6---8---8------3-----  repeat everything after * a few
 G-------0-|-----------0---0---0---0------0-----  times.
 D-------0-|-----------0---0---0---0------0-----
 A---------|------------------------------------  s = slide
 E--1s3----|--3-3s5--6---5---8---7------3-------
     

 Sometimes there is another guitar playing this: 
 
 e-3--1--0--1-----
 B-3--3--3--3-----

 But they don’t play this part when they play the song live.

 Also, when Thom sings the "Over my dead body" line, he plays this instead of the 
 main tune:

 e-----------------------------3----
 B-------------6---6---8---8---3----
 G-------------0---0---0---0---0----
 D-------------0---0---0---0---0----
 A----------------------------------
 E-13-13--13s6---5---8---7---3------

 2nd verse - Jonny and Ed come in on this verse

 e--------------------------------------------------------------------
 B--3--3--3-1-3--6-6--5-5--8-8--6-6--3--3--1----6--x--6--x--8--x--8--- repeat 
 G--0--0--0-0-0--0-0--0-0--0-0--0-0--0--0--0----0--x--0--x--0--x--0--- throughout
 D--0--0--0-0-0--0-0--0-0--0-0--0-0--0--0--0----x--x--0--x--x--x--0--- verse
 A--x--x--x-x-x--x-x--x-x--x-x--x-x--x--x--x----6--x--x--x--8--x--x---
 E--3--3--3-3-3--6-6--5-5--8-8--6-6--3--3--3-------x--6--x-----x--8--- x = mute note

 1st Chorus

 e------6-----8-----6-----5---------
 B------6-----8-----6-----5---------
 G------0-----0-----0-----0---------
 D------0-----0-----0-----0---------
 A----------------------------------
 E--6-6---8-8---6-6---5-5-----------

 3rd verse - this is the one no-one had right
 
 Riff 1:
 e------------------------------------------------------------------ 
 B------------------------------------------------------------------ only play
 G------------------------------------------------------------------ this part 
 D--5-5-x-5-5-5-5---7-x-5---5-5---3-x-5---5-5---7-x-5---5-5--------- once
 A--5-5-x-5-5-5-5---x-x-x---x-x---3-x-5---5-5---x-x-x---x-x---------
 E--3-3-x-3-3-3-3---6-x-6---6-6---3-x-3---3-3---6-x-6---6-6---------

 Riff 2:  
 e-------------------------------------------
 B-------------------------------------------
 G------------------------------------------- repeat this over and over
 D--3-x-5---5-5---7-x-5---5-5----------------
 A--3-x-5---5-5---x-x-x---x-x---8-x-7---7-7--
 E--3-x-3---3-3---6-x-6---6-6---8-x-8---8-8--

 2nd chorus

 e------6------8-----6-----8----------------
 B------6------8-----6-----8----------------
 G------0------0-----0-----0----------------
 D------0------0-----0-----0----------------
 A------------------------------------------
 E--6-6---8-8----6-6---8-8------------------

 Thom and Ed play the 3rd verse riff 1 while Jonny plays this riff twice:

 e---------------------------
 B--8s15-15-------6--8-------
 G---------------------------

 Now repeat 2nd chorus once, then back to Jonny's riff while Thom and Ed play 3rd 
 verse riff 1 once, then repeat riff 2 over and over until the song fades out. Jonny 
 plays his riff 3 times this time, then goes into a solo with effects on, which
 I don’t know how to play, but when they play live Jonny just improvises it.

 Live, when Jonny is about half way through his solo, Thom and Ed stop playing the 
 riff and Ed does this until the song ends:

 e--x-x-x-----x-x-x-----x-x-x-----x-x-x--
 B--x-x-x-----x-x-x-----x-x-x-----x-x-x--
 G--x-x-x-----x-x-x-----x-x-x-----x-x-x--
 D--x-x-x-----x-x-x-----x-x-x-----x-x-x--  etc.
 A--x-x-x-----x-x-x-----x-x-x-----x-x-x--
 E--x-x-x-----x-x-x-----x-x-x-----x-x-x--

chorus chords:


e a d g b e


6 x 0 0 8 8


8 x 0 0 8 10


6 x 0 0 6 6


5 x x x 5 5





the end riff:





when you play:


e a d g b e


6 x 7 x x x


6 x 5 x x x





jab an F on the B string(6th fret) on one of the strums to play this chord.





e a d g b e


6 x 7 x 6 x





and instead of simply:





e a d g b e


8 8 x x x x


8 7 x x x x





play:


e a d g b e


8 8 x x x x


8 7 x x x x


8 7 x x x x


8 7 x 0 8 x





obviously wi/no ridim.
