I've read that the bassist for this band plays a 6-string.
So, I looked at a picture of the band, and he certainly does.
I find that weird, because unless I'm hearing this wrong,
the only string used in this song is the E.  OK, here goes...

E---5---5-5-5-3-5-7-7---7-7-8-8---8-8-7-3---|

In the pre-chorus if you listen carefully enough you can hear tye playing an octave every 5 or so beats, something a little like this. G|------------------- D|------3----3------- A|------------------- E|--1111-1111-111--33 note* not correct timing.

The Correct intro goes like this noobs. G|----------------------------|| D|----------------------------|| A|----------------------------|| E|-5-5555-3-5-77-5-7-88-88-7-3|| NOTE: Timing not notated. referr to song for correct timing.
