Alright there aren't any good tabs for this song anywhere, so here's mine.
When I play along with the song it sounds pretty good, so here goes.
Alright, so there's 2 ways you to play the intro, play whichever
sounds better to you. The only difference is the infamous first
3 notes which most tabs screw up. If you're having difficulty
understanding what's happening in V#1, it's a microtonal bend
(half-a-half-tone, so halfway between fret 3 and 4), then unbend
and pull-off to 1.
All d's and u's are just suggestions and are just how I play it.
