Good song from the new album/project Teargarden by Kaleidyscope! Uses standard tuning.
of G, Played with both G major and (I think it's called?) a Prometheus scale (it's quite
but it works. Screw around with the D Prometheus scale and it fits, especially the verse 
First song in a long time that sounds like something the Smashing Pumpkins would
:D. This tab is not timed, so listen to the song to figure out the timings. It isn't hard.

Main guitar riff:

E|--------------|
B|--------------|
G|-----4--5-----|
D|--2--2--3--4--|
A|--2--2--3--4--|
E|--0--0--0--4--|

At every other interval replace the last chord with D5.


"Everyone gather on your soul"
E|---------------------------------|
B|---------------------------------|
G|--5--4--5--4---------------------|   x3
D|--------------6------------4-----|
A|-----------------7------7-----5--|
E|---------------------------------|


"Your soul - everyone, everyone"
E|------------------------------|
B|------------------------------|
G|------------------------------|
D|--2------------------2--4--6--|
A|-----2------2--3--5-----------|
E|------------------------------|


"Everyone, everyone,   everyone, everyone, everyone, YEAH"
E|----------------------------------------------------0--|
B|----------------------1--2--4----2--4--5--4--5/7----0--|
G|----------------------------------------------------9--|
D|-----------2--4--6----------------------------------9--|
A|--2--3--5-------------------------------------------7--|
E|-------------------------------------------------------|

For the YEAH solo part, use the G major scale to improvise.

"Faraway lights..."  G, F#, F, Em
E|--3--2--1--0--|
B|--3--2--1--0--|
G|--4--3--2--0--|
D|--5--4--3--2--|
A|--5--4--3--2--|
E|--3--2--1--0--|

Same as the the yeah part, the improv in the background is the G major scale.
