Ok I'd say this tab is about 85% correct.  There are a lot of chords
that took me a while to figure out in the song, but I think I'm
pretty close.  I can promise you that this is closer than just about
anything else you'll find for this song on the internet without having
to download crap.

This song is in the key of E.

Beginning lick:
e--------------------------9-------------------------------------7----------|
b-----------7-7-9p7-9-9/10---9p7-9-7~-------------7-7-9p7-9-9/10---9p7------|
g-8-8-9p8-9-----------------------------8-8-9p8-9----------------------9-8~-|
d---------------------------------------------------------------------------|
a---------------------------------------------------------------------------|
E---------------------------------------------------------------------------|

This is the part I'm the most unsure of, but it's still pretty close.
e-------------------|
b-7-5-5-------------|
g-8-6-6-------------|Play 2
d-------9-6-4/6-7-1-|times
a-------9-7-5/7-7-2-|

Main verse riff:
      E              Emaj7          E7             A             B          E
e-7-9-7-7----7-|-7-9-7-7----7-|-7-9-7-7----7-|-0-2-0-0---0-|-2-4-2-2---2-|-7-9-7-7----7---|

This is occasionally played during verses:
e-------------|-------------|-------------|-------------|-------------|-------------|
b-------------|-------------|-------------|-------------|-------------|-------------|
g-9-9-9-9-9-9-|-8-8-8-8-8-8-|-7-7-7-7-7-7-|-2-2-2-2-2-2-|-4-4-4-4-4-4-|-7-7-7-7-7-7-|
d-------------|-------------|-------------|--play-------|--play-------|-------------|
a-------------|-------------|-------------|--twice------|--twice------|-------------|
E-------------|-------------|-------------|-------------|-------------|-------------|

At the end of each verse this is played:
e-----------------------------------------|
b-----------------------------------------|
g-----------------------------------------|
d-----------------------------------------|
a-----------------------------------------|
E-0-2-4-2-0-2-0---0-2-4-2---0-2-4-2-0-2-0-|

During the chorus they just play fills(which I couldn't hear well
enough to tab out), but these are the main chords.
  B            A         E
I...singer.  I...foreign lands
e--------------------------|
b--------------------------|
g------------------------9-|
d-9------------7---------9-|
a-9------------7---------7-|
E-7------------5-----------|

And that covers the entire song.  Just apply these parts to the
appropriate sections of the song.
