Transcribed by Alex Kruczkowski (amk1@ch.ic.ac.uk, alex@prilnari.com).
My first attempt at transcription; it's vaguely accurate. This is the way
I play along with the song on guitar. Chord names and timings could be wrong,
so make it up as you go along! If anyone can put in the lead guitar stuff,
or write a faithful transcription, that would be great. No rights reserved!

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 BABYLON ZOO 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.
