There wasn't an acoustic version on here so I thought I'd give out the tab.

Taken from the KCRW live recording.

there are two guitars on this, Rhythm and Lead, obviously

rhythm Guitar (Chris):

capo on the second fret.

Middle-8: This is the part where the rhythm guitar would come back into the song and play these chords:

Come on and sing it out, Now,   Now, Come on and sing it out, to me,   me.....come back and sing


Outro: Just strum each chords once

G      F#/D         Bm          D                     G

       F#/D    Em   D        G
I was lost, Oh yeah, oh......yeah.


Lead Guitar: (Jonny)

Intro: (just drums for two bars then...) play RIFF 1 four times through.

(we'll call this RIFF 1)                       [Play this part ONLY on the fourth / final time you play this riff]
e-12---12---------9-------9-                      |---12---12---------------9------10
B--------------12-----12----   X4                 |---------------12/14\12-----12------10

A-                                                |
E-


Verse: Lead guitar is silent throughout verses:


Pre Chorus:

"Yeah....." etc.

Play these chords, only strum them once, figure out when to play them on your own by listening to the track.

e-x                     e-5   e-x
B-7                     B-6   B-9
G-7                     G-x   G-9
D-7-------7             D-7   D-9                      X3
A-7---7/9               A-5   A-7
E-5                     E-x   E-x

then there's a little riff before the main one again:

it's:
e-
B-
G----7-----9
D-9-----9
A-
E-

Back to the Main riff again (RIFF 1 X4)

Verse 2:

Half way through the second verse there is a little riff in the background, it's:)

e---5---5---4-4---4-4---4-4-----4 
B-----5--------5-----5-----5                        X2
G-
D-
A-
E-

Pre Chorus: (same as before)

Solo:

It's just RIFF 1 on it's own, you play it through 8 times, 4 times on your own, and 4 times with chris singing.

Outro:

This is just the rhythm guitar strumming the chords:
