I didn't transcribe this strum-for-strum, (i'm not that patient) so use your
ear for the rythm
intro begins with the verse riff dubbed backwards(and in clean tone) but live
Hum plays the following riff(which is just the verse riff played backwards
anyway) with flanger and sometimes delay effects
intro riff (intro riff tip: it helps to play this part with up-down,
constant rythm)

okay the last bit before the distortion kicks in is Tim
playing the Bb chord and that high pitch sound in the
background seems to be Matt doing some sort of pick
scrape/slide by the pickups with the distortion and effects
pedals on (experiment, you'll get it)

play chorus riff twice then go back to the verse riff then back to the
chorus riff for the "she had the widest, bright ideas that all the..."
then after that chorus go to the interlude.

play a few times then play only the Bb, G, F chord progression

the solo is Matt pick scraping and sliding rapidly back and forth near the
pickups while coaxing some feedback(it sounds hard to play but all you need is
a lot of volume and distortion)
meanwhile Tim is playing the verse riff(and you may notice that you can hear
him accent the high notes a little better)
then after that play the chorus riff but end it on the C chord and go to outro

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 HUM 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.
