Yeah so.. All of seen of this song on here is inaccurate versions or people claiming you
a capo.. Which you dont (:
So here's my accurate tab for the chords and one of the riffs.
I will attempt to transcribe all of the lead guitar at a later date

Standard tuning - EADGBe

Chords used - A, A/G#, F#m, Bm, E, 
C#7, D, B7

For those of you who do not know what i mean by a A/G#, it is purely your box standard A 
with a G# bass added. A nice touch when descending to an F#m.
The chord should therefore look like this E A D G B e

Babydoll...

From here on the opening sequence is repeated over & over to fade.
(A, A/G#, F#m, Bm, E)

Over this sequence there are two distinctive riffs.
The first of which is tabbed below:


e----------------------------------------------------------------------|
B----------------------------------------------------------------------|
G--2-----2h-4/-6-4-2-1-----------2-----2h-4/-6-4-2-1-----------------|
D-----------------------4------------------------------4---------------|
A----------------------------------------------------------------------|
E----------------------------------------------------------------------|

e----------------------------------------------------------------------|
B----------------------------------------------------------------------|
G--2-----2h-4/-6-2-1-----------1--------------------------------------|
D---------------------2-------4----------------------------------------|
A----------------------------------------------------------------------|
E----------------------------------------------------------------------|

This is played twice and is then followed by a second, different riff which i have still 
transcribe.

h = Hammer-on
/ = Slide up
 = Slide down

Do not hesitate to e-mail me with any errors i have made or with any of this missing 
i have yet to transcribe.

Not bad for my first tab ehh? (:
