The spacing between notes is not exactly correct because it was really hard
to get the notes to line up with the lyrics.
To start off if you want to play the bass part on a guitar I think it goes like this:
|---------------------------------------------------------------------------|
|---------------------------------------------------------------------------|
|---------------------------------------------------------------------------|
|---------------------------------------------------------------------------|
|---------------------------------------------------------------------------|
|--0h2--2--2--2--0--0--0---2--3---3---3--3--3b--0--0---0--3--0--0---0---0--0|
|
---- guitars come in about here.
The backing guitars play this during the solo and it seems really close.

D and D/A are not the same chord. I know many people
always play the open A string when they're playing a D chord, but
in this song you should not play the A string when you're playing
the D, but let it ring out when you're playing the D/A chord. This
song has a cool descending bassline, but when you're playing
alone it's important to try to let the bass notes ring out clearly
CHORDS:
INTRO:
b = bend note up
r = release bend

then keep playing the chorus and fade out. I can't hear
any more of what the lead singer is saying. It's not
important anyway. Just make up some stuff.
