Aight. I've seen a few tabs on this, most of them are partially wrong to totally wrong.
This one is totally correct, as i read it in an interview with Daron.
He didn't disclose the whole song, but it wasnt that hard to figure out the rest
This song is in STANDARD TUNING!!! (EADGBe)
Drum and bass intro, then the pause, then this starts
Part A
E]-12--12--12--12-12--12--12-12--12------------------------------
B]---------------------------------------------------------------
G]---------------------------------------------------------------
D]---------------------------------------------------------------
A]---------------------------------------------------------------
E]---------------------------------------------------------------
You do that part 4 times, then go into this
Part B
E]---------------------------------------------------------------
B]-13--8--9------------------------------------------------------
G]-----------10--12--8--10--8------------------------------------
D]-----------------------------10--------------------------------

E]---------------------------------------------------------------
Part C
E]---------------------------------------------------------------
B]-13--8--9--8---------------------------------------------------
G]--------------10--12--8--10--8---------------------------------
D]--------------------------------10-----------------------------
A]---------------------------------------------------------------
E]---------------------------------------------------------------
Part C is the same as B, just mix another note in there (13, 8, 9, 8)
The drums and bass continue on through the singing...then the chorus comes in
Part D (chorus)
