Hey guys, I've been working a long time on this tab, and the guitar parts are usually

Good luck, and give me feedback!

    higher octave                has a riochet noise after it (no guitar)

Post-Chorus Solo II
This one is much heavier on effects, sorry if it sounds wrong.
He pretty much just improvises with a very simple scale... amazing in Omar's case.
|-------------------------------------------------------------|
|-------------------------------------------------------------|
|-10-10p9--7-----------------7-9-7-----9--7-------------------|
|-------------7--9------7--9--------9--------9--7h9--7--------|
|-------------------7-9---------------------------------9--7--|
|-------------------------------------------------------------|
Just continue to improvise with that scale, why bother sifting through all those effects 
you can just almost duplicate what he's doing by improvising yourself. So yeah, 
No point in tabbing.

                             -Short Drum Break-

"Now for me" (5:31) Once again, just occationaly play these notes.
|----------------------12-14---|
|------------10---12-----------|
|---9---11---------------------|
|------------------------------|
|------------------------------|
|------------------------------|

"Please dismantle" (6:05)
|------14--12--------------------------------------------14--12-------------|
|--12----------15--12--14--12~----------10--14--12---12----------15--12--14-|

|---------------------------------------------------------------------------|

                          -Short Drum/Vocal Break-

CHORUS (6:32) "Everyone stabs" - Waaaaahhh!
|------------------------|
|------------------------|
|-----7--9--10--9--------| Repeat
|-9~--------------8~--9~-|      x4
|------------------------|
|------------------------|

7:05 - 8:51 is a saxophone solo. (I might tab this and update later)
Once again, just occationaly play these notes through the solo.
|----------------------12-14---|
|------------10---12-----------|
|---9---11---------------------|
|------------------------------|
|------------------------------|
|------------------------------|

Strange effects at 8:51 (something like this)
|-----------------------11-13-14-13-11-10~-|
|------------------------------------------|
|------------------------------------------|
|-11-12-13-12-11-10-9-7--------------------|
|------------------------------------------|
|------------------------------------------|

"It lacks a human pulse" (9:08) Just like the beginning. Improv.

Saxophone 1 - Notes are short, except the last one.
|------------------------------------|
|------------------------------------|
|-------------9----------------------|
|-------9---9-----11h12--11h12--9----|
|--9-12---------------------------9~-|

Saxophone 2
|-10-12-14--12--14--12--10--12------------------------------|
|-------------------------------15--14--15--14--12--14--12~-|
|-----------------------------------------------------------|
|-----------------------------------------------------------|
|-----------------------------------------------------------|
|-----------------------------------------------------------|

The effects fade off slowly...
Around 10:30 there's a guitar part something like this.
|---------------------------------------------------------------------------|
|---------------------------------------------------------------------------|
|-------------------------14-12-----------------------------12--------------|
|-12-12-14-15-14-12-12-12-------14-14--12-12-14-15-14-12-12-----15--14--12~-|
|---------------------------------------------------------------------------|
|---------------------------------------------------------------------------|

...until there's nothing but a saxophone-keyboard trio. (Sax part above)

And that takes you to the end! Cool song, remember to give me feedback!
