In this song the QOTSA seem to never play the same riff twice, but I'll try my hardest... 1/2 step down and Dropped D (making E a Db, or C# if you like, I'll tab it as E) but DON'T tune down D or G, making this look like Db, Ab, D, G I'm going to number the riffs to make this a little less typing...
