Very awesome song, can't believe it didn't have a tab yet.
I've only got some of it so far but I should have the rest soon.
You should get the main idea of it from this.

The fourth time, omit the 2nd measure.

F-2---2---2---2-2-|
C-2---2---2---2-2-|

This can be kind of a complicated thing to get a hang of. Basically, always keep the
2nd fret covered on the C and F, but only strum whe indicated. Spend the rest of the
time hammering on the A. Also, the 2nd measure is a little fuzzy. Just screw with it.

VERSE
0:10-0:31
Repeat main riff.

The second time just jam on mutes instead of the power chord.
It's hard to tell just what's going on, so just screw with it.

Listen for the rhythm.
After the 3rd time, one guitar plays this chord into the chorus:

1:11
"We must have been seduced by the ---"
D---|
A---|

Listen to the song for the timing. It's not too hard. It roughly follows the

Rest a measure, then play the main riff 12 times (while all the ambient snazz goes on),
again omitting the 2nd measure the last time.
2:23 - 2:54
D-----------------|-----------------|
A-0h1-0h1-0h1-0-0-|-0-0h1-0h1h3-0h1-|

Yep, that's basically it. I have the missing part of the solo at home so I'll
put that in later. The breakdown is still driving me nuts.
