Well, you got to sing like Chris because in most parts of the vocals Chris sings as a back-up vocal. Which means, the guitar plays low tune & Chris sings a high tone. You can find that in the chorus. I tabbed the the song using both bass & electric guitar from the song also.

I guess you'll have to try it out if you know the song very well.
