I'll just be writing out the chords that they use in the song, the
timing in this song isn't complicated and should be easy
to figure out when they do chord changes.
You generally only want to strum the treble (e,G,B) strings for
the upstroke in ska, not the entire barre, but I'll tab out barres
for the sake of alternatives.
The chord names will be written under the tab. If you know alternative
fingerings.
I'll only be supplying the chords, writing out the strumming pattern
is a bit complicated to write out exactly, you can just do your own thing.
Tuning: Standard E
First off, there's the intro riff which starts after the spacey keyboard stuff.

Intro - Lyrics begin, "Halfway home.." (0:15)
