This song was originally tabbed and posted by Philippe Girolami (girolami@ec-lille.fr). It was on the right track, but there were some things I heard differently. I also went just a little more in-depth where I could. This is a great song with an awesome groove you can really get funky with.
Intro: 0:24 G|-----|-----|-----|-----1-4-4-5-| D|-----|-----|-----|-3h4---------| A|-----|-----|-----|-------------| E|-4\0-|-4\0-|-4\0-|-------------|
This is the basic pattern
0:40 G|--------------|---4-----------| D|--6-------4---|-----4-4-4/6---| A|----6-6-6---6-|-2-------------| E|4-------------|---------------|
0:45 G|--------------|---4-4-6-8-----| D|--6-------4---|-----------4-6-| A|----6-6-6---6-|-2-------------| E|4-------------|---------------|
0:50 G|--------------|---4-4---4-4---3-3-| D|--6-------4---|-------6-----6-----| A|----6-6-6---6-|-2-----------------| E|4-------------|-------------------|
0:55 G|--------------|---4---------| D|--6-------4---|-----4-4-4/6-| A|----6-6-6---6-|-2-----------| E|4-------------|-------------|
Improv with the ending of the second phrase of that pattern throughout the song. Listen to the song to hear where it gets a little quieter and more subdued at around 2:30 or so. Then, during the second part of the guitar solo, comes this
3:52 G|-----|-----|-----|---4---4---| D|-----|-----|-----|-6---6---4-| A|-----|-----|-----|-----------| E|-4\0-|-4\0-|-4\0-|-----------|
4:06 G|--------------------| D|----6p4-----3\1-3/4-| X8 A|--------------------| E|4-4-----4-4---------|
At 4:26, he just plays the G# (fourth fret, E string) till about 4:45, then I can't really hear what he's doing. Eventually he starts doing a climb that I can't get right. If anyone knows that, please post it. Also, if there are any errors, please post any corrections you may have. I'm not certain about some of the parts.
This is Philippe Girolami's take on that last part:
G|------------------| The point being to play string E repetitively D|------------------| and going from fret 4 to fret 16... A|------------------| E|-444/666/99/12/16-|
