The song is basically variations of the same two lines, with hammer-ons and slight 
changes between them.

t= thumb
u= upstroke
d= downstroke

It starts with this:


     Em                 C                  G
e|-----------------|------------------|---3333------33----0---0-|
B|-----------------|----11111---------|-------------------3---3-|

                        dudud           t dudu    t du  t u t u

    Em              C                 G
e|-----------------|-------------------|--3333----33----3---3------|
B|-----------------|---1---------------|----------------0---0------|

     du                                   dudu    du  t u t u


I find it easier to use the ring finger on A string and the middle finger on D string 
the intro Em flourishes,

it works well with the transition to the C chord, it just feels a little weird fingering 
chord that way.


Another Em 'flourish':

e|-------------|
B|-------------|
G|-------------|
D|---2-------0-|
A|---2---2-0---|
E|-0-----------|


Another way the intro is played, this one during the bridge"
e|-----------------|--------------------|
B|-----------------|--------------------|
G|-----------------|--------------------|
D|---2-----0---0-2-|----2p0--0-0h2--2-2-|
A|---2---2---2-----|--3-----------------|
E|-0---------------|--------------------|


For the chorus:

G/B 200003

        Em             C         G             G/B      Em
And I’m wasted you can taste it. Don’t look at me that way. Cause I’ll be
 C              Em            C       G/B   Em
hanging from a rope. I will haunt you like a ghost.



I think you get the idea. Anyway, good luck, have fun, and support this artist please, 
play a really good live show.
