I have waited forever to find a tab that works good for this song and I got tired 
of waiting so I wrote my own.

This tab is for drop D tuning and the song is in the key of Bm.

X = Dead Note
 = Natural Harmonic
br = bend release
bh = bend and hold
v = vibrato
b = bend
p = pull-off
h = hammer-on
PM = Palm Mute

Intro/Verse Rhythm (0:00)Play palm muted while distorted and alternate fairly quickly

Lead Pre-Chorus (0:33) Start palm-muted and "un-mute" as you play. I add pinch

Chorus Part A (0:36)(0:47) I like to mix both B Power chord variations in.
You can use either B power chord like in the pre-chorus.

First Note of bridge solo (1:53) He plays with a lot of legato pretty quickly in a 
Bm scale box shape between
the 7th and 12th frets (with a slide from the 5th to the 7th in there).
You can improvise and sound pretty close.

Solo (2:06) There is a video on youtube of Joe playing this solo on camera and 
that's the only reason
I don't think this solo starts on the 9th fret of the A string and runs from there.
I think it sounds just as good either way though.

Rhythm plays bridge
Lead tap (2:48) I don't know how to tab tapping technique properly but
hold frets 7 and 9 with your left hand
THEN tap fret 16 with your right hand
THEN pull-off fret 9.
Play increasingly faster.

Bm between frets 15 and 24.

Hopefully this tab was easier to read and understand than some of the others.
