This tune is pretty easy. The only difficult part is getting the intro down, but it's quick to learn. 
I Think the song is awesome, definetley one of the best songs I've heard in a long time. By the way
this is my first tab so bear with me. Theres probably a few mistakes, I just tabbed it out today.
         
It starts out with the hi-hat cymbal for 4 measures

Then into the guitar intro (1 of 2 guitars) 8 measures (really fast)

Then to the verse...
G               F	  E
wakin up feelin good and limber
                     D
when the telephone it ring
G               F              E
was a bad man from California
                     D         
tellin of a stone he'd bring

G

F      G      A
and of better days
F            G          A
from this town, we'd escape
F             G               A
if we holler loud and make our way
F             G            A
we'd all live one big holiday
G                 F             E 
so we listened and up the river
                    D
and recorded all the sounds
G                       F              E
was some shakin and some record playin
                          D         G            F          E             D 
all the leather kids were loooooooooooooooooooooooud
                   

Then a guitar solo over F-G-A for a couple measures, just remember bend and release 
like crazy?think blues rock.

Then the intro for a few more measures then the intro moves up the neck
and gets a little funky with a bit of soloing added w/ it. I'm not totally sure of the right way

Finally the intro on 2 guitars plus bass & hi-hat for 12 measures then it slows 
down to finish for 14 seconds to a
