This is tabbed out for just acoustic, for its all I have with me at the moment.
I don't feel like tabbing out the lead parts to be honest with you.
I recommend it finger-picked
|-------------------------------------------------| Repeat this
|-------2-----------3-----------2-----------2-----|
|-----2---2-------2---2-------2---2-------2---2---|
|---2-------2---4-------4---2-------2---2-------2-|
|-0-----------0-----------0-----------0-----------|
|-------------------------------------------------|
"But I finally..."
|-------2-----------2-----------------------------|
|-----3---3-------3---3---------2-------------0---|
|---4-------4---4-------4-----2---2---------1---1-|
|-4-----------4-------------2-------2---2---------|
|-------------------------0---------------2-------|

|---4-------4---4-------4-----2---2-------1---1-----1---1---|
|-4-----------4-------------2-------2---2---------2-------2-|
|-------------------------0---------------------------------|
|-------------------------------------0---------0-----------|
Repeat all the above with a slight change in the last Emaj arpeggio:
|-----------0-----|
|---------0---0---|
|-------1-------1-|
|-----2-----------|
|---2-------------|
|-0---------------|

|-------------------------|
|-2-3-2-5~~---5-----5-----| Repeat 3x
|---------------4-----4---|
|-2-4-2-6~~-------6-----6-|
|-0-0-0-------------------|
|-------7~~-7-------------|
End on:
|-------|
|-2-3-2-|
|-------|
|-2-4-2-|
|-0-0-0-|
|-------|
CHANGE!
This is basically it, listen to the song for the rhythm:
|---------------|
|----1-1--0---0-|
|----2-2--0---0-|
|---------------|
|-0----0--------|
|---------3-0-3-|
There's a transitory part right before the flute comes in that goes like this
|--------------------------------|
|-1~~~-0-1~~~-0-1~~~-0-1~~~-3~~~-|
|-2~~~-0-2~~~-0-2~~~-0-2~~~-4~~~-|
|--------------------------------|
|-0~~~---0~~~---0~~~---0~~~-2~~~-|
|------3------3------3-----------|
During the flute part, I've found that strumming C and D chords work fine.
Then it repeats the Am-G progression above.
You can use very slight Am and G notes under the "I want to be a little seahorse".
After that, just repeat the main part until the final change.
Electric riff:
|--------------------------------------------------------|
|--------------------------------------------------------|
|----------------------------------------------7/9--7--5-|
|-7--7-5h7-5h7-5h7--------5--7--7-5h7-5h7-5h7------------|
|-------------------5--7---------------------------------|
|--------------------------------------------------------|
"Well I'm scared..."
|-----0------------------------------|
|-----1---0-0--3~~-3~~-3-3--3/5-3--1-|
|-2~~-2---0-0--2~~-2~~-2-2--x---x--x-|
|-2~~-2---0-0--0~~-0~~-0-0--0---0--0-|
|-0~~-0---2-2------------------------|
|---------3-3------------------------|
That's basically it!
