Hey folks I've looked everywhere for this friggin' tab and no one's done it right some even tabbed it in Drop D 
not sayin' that I'm the man or anything but I'm sure this is how it goes

Now for the main riff Mike uses something called a "DOD Gonkulater" 
which they've stopped manufacturing a while ago, you might be able to get one at 
a local pawn shop! 
thise item is wot makes this unique effect 
wot it does is it takes your ordinary effects and then it just goes and 
jumbles em' up 
basically they screw with your effects.

Also for the beginning of the verses Mike uses even more effects, 
its like "Pardon Me" & "Are You In?" the bass is the 'back-bone' of the song 
Mike uses so many effects

Tip: ok for all those that dont own a DOD Gonkulator...(i.e. me) which is probably most of you
A friend and I worked out that if you combine these following effects you should be able to get a similar sound: 
               Flange
               Phaser
               Oct
               Light Distortion
               Chorus
               Wah

Thats a lot of effects but mix them all together & Bob's ur Uncle pretty much

Now I saw mike play it this way because the camera is like zoomed in on his guitar for the whole intro and most of the song

Key:
h  = hammer on
p  = pull off
/  = slide up
  = slide down
<> = harmonic
x  = mute
