Hey, this isn't perfect, but it sounds pretty good.
Intro:
D chord
(hit the open D occasionally)
-2---
-3---
-2--- followed by: ----------|
(0)-- -----3-0--|
----- -2-4------|
----- ----------|
----------|
----------|
Keep playing that with everything muted except for last note throughout the verses. Then repeat.
Chorus:
[ Tab from: http://www.guitaretab.com/s/surfer-blood/226584.html ]
Play the D power chord quietly
---
---
-7- followed by: --5------3----|
-7- --5------3----|
-5- --6------4----|
--- --7------5----|
--7------5----|
--5------3----|
A G
(Optional chorus if you have a second guitarist)
I'd use this part as a bass riff, but if you want to play it on guitar, play this.
----------------------------|
----------------------------|
----------------------------|
----------------------------|
------5-5~----------5-------|
-5--7------7~-5-5-7--7--5-3-|
Bridge:
--------|
-----3--|
-2-4----|
--------|
--------|
--------|
Now repeat intro and then mute the intro the same way for the verses.
For the next chorus, instead of playing the D power chord you are gonna pluck it like this:
---------------|
---------------|
-----7-------7-|
---7-------7---| repeat several times until the end.
-5-----5-5-----|
---------------|
I like to play this with a Chorus and Overdrive pedal.
Enjoy!
