This is a tab of the short version (approximately 0:46) of the new (2008) Doctor Who 
song.

The rhythm section of the song goes like this:

|-----------------------------------------------------------|
|-----------------------------------------------------------|
|--9-9-xxx-9-9-xxx-9-9-xxx-12-12-12-12-12-12----------------|  x4
|--9-9-xxx-9-9-xxx-9-9-xxx-12-12-12-12-12-12----------------|
|--7-7-xxx-7-7-xxx-7-7-xxx-10-10-10-10-10-10----------------|
|-----------------------------------------------------------|

The chords change slightly once the eerie part kicks in:

|-----------------------------------------------------------|
|-----------------------------------------------------------|
|--9-9-xxx-9-9-xxx-4-4-xxx-4-4------------------------------|  x2
|--9-9-xxx-9-9-xxx-4-4-xxx-2-2------------------------------|
|--7-7-xxx-7-7-xxx-2-2-xxx-2-2------------------------------|
|-----------------------------------------------------------|

|-----------------------------------------------------------|
|-----------------------------------------------------------|
|--9-9-xxx-9-9-xxx-12-12-xxx-4-4----------------------------|
|--9-9-xxx-9-9-xxx-12-12-xxx-4-4----------------------------|
|--7-7-xxx-7-7-xxx-10-10-xxx-2-2----------------------------|
|-----------------------------------------------------------|

|-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------|
|-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------|
|--9-9-xxx-9-9-xxx-4-4-xxx-4-4-xxx-4-4-xxx-9--7--4-4-xxx-4-4-xxx-4-4-xxx-4-4--------|
|--9-9-xxx-9-9-xxx-4-4-xxx-4-4-xxx-4-4-xxx-9--7--4-4-xxx-4-4-xxx-4-4-xxx-4-4--------|
|--7-7-xxx-7-7-xxx-2-2-xxx-2-2-xxx-2-2-xxx-7--5--2-2-xxx-2-2-xxx-2-2-xxx-2-2--------|
|-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------|

|-----------------------------------------------------------|
|-----------------------------------------------------------|
|--9-9-xxx-9-9-xxx-9-9-xxx-12-12-12-12-12-12----------------|
|--9-9-xxx-9-9-xxx-9-9-xxx-12-12-12-12-12-12----------------|
|--7-7-xxx-7-7-xxx-7-7-xxx-10-10-10-10-10-10----------------|
|-----------------------------------------------------------|

|-----------------------------------------------------------|
|-----------------------------------------------------------|
|--9-9-xxx-9-9-xxx-9-9-9-9-9-9-9----------------------------|
|--9-9-xxx-9-9-xxx-9-9-9-9-9-9-9----------------------------|
|--7-7-xxx-7-7-xxx-7-7-7-7-7-7-7----------------------------|
|-----------------------------------------------------------|


At around :10 or so another part is added that goes something like this:

Palm mute all of it
|-----------------------------------------------------------|
|-----------------------------------------------------------|
|-----------------------------------------------------------|  x3
|----------------------------------------9p7---7------------|
|--7--7-7-9-10--7--7-7-9-10--7--7-7-9-10-----9---10-9-------|
|-----------------------------------------------------------|

Then (still palm muting):
|-----------------------------------------------------------|
|-----------------------------------------------------------|
|-----------------------------------------------------------|
|--------------9p7---7-------------------9p7---7------------|
|--7--7-7-9-10-----9---10-9--7--7-7-9-10-----9---10-9-7~~---|
|-----------------------------------------------------------|
Hold the last note for sustain and feedback

Eerie main part at about 0:15

|-----------------------------------------------------------|
|-------------15--------------------------------------------|
|------17-16~----17-16~-------------------------------------|
|--/14------------------------------------------------------|
|-----------------------------------------------------------|
|-----------------------------------------------------------|

Then (mostly guessing here):
|-----------------------------------------------------------|
|------------------15---------------------------------------|
|--17--------17-16----17-16~--------------------------------|
|-----17-14~------------------------------------------------|
|-----------------------------------------------------------|
|-----------------------------------------------------------|

Lastly (at about 0:35 or so):

|-----------------------------------------------------------|
|-----------------------------------------------------------|
|------17-16~------17-16~-----------------------------------|
|--/14---------/14------------------------------------------|
|-----------------------------------------------------------|
