This may or may not be 100% accurate, but sounds pretty close and should
impress your all indie-rock friends. The way I play it is in standard
tuning: E A D G B E
Of course, \ is slide down, / is slide up.
Main Part:

-10-------10----------\-5-----\-3------3-/---- (slide back up, repeat)
* - on a few of the runs through this line, this note is bent up
one step.
Lyrics:
Rental sting, the customer is king
Waste your life, waste your life
Little things can cost you everything
Save your life, save your life

& repeat)

Repeat Main Part with new lyrics:
Dead and white, our distance is disguised
Mad and sad when it's my misunderstanding
Rental sting, the customer is king
Waste your life, waste your life
Closing part:

----------------5--5--5----3--3--3--- (repeat to ending)
There's a second guitar picking out some individual, higher notes overtop
this pattern, but this part sounds sufficient on its own.
As always, feel free to correct me or add anything.

This musical interpretation has been removed due to a legal threat from Moses & Singer LLP,
representing the National Music Publishers' Association (NMPA) and
The Music Publisher's Association of the United States (MPA).
Unfortunately, these threats are fueled by greed and being masked by a "copyright infringement." They claim tab sites are
"hurting the songwriters," but it's a known fact that the publishing companies garner most of the
revenue. Instead, they would prefer you to purchase the
official ARCHERS OF LOAF tablature
which is an option we've always given our users. And due to the highly error-prone nature of tabs on the internet, many choose to go this route.
These companies also do not realize that tablature sites help to promote their artists.
For more information on this onslaught, you can read the
NY Times Article.
We hope one of the larger tablature sites will have the money to fight this. Until then, we urge you all to keep tabbing songs and sharing them in any way you can.
