C# D# F# B
The bass line during the verses is kinda neat. It's a bit different from
what's being played on the guitar. During the choruses the bass is just
straight C# D# F# B like the guitar.

D# A# B F#
Keyboard:
The notes for the spiffy solo after the second chorus are:
F# E D B, B B C# C# C#, G# G#
F# E D B, B B C# B G# G# C# G# C# (2nd G# in this line is 1 octave
higher than those played before it)
F# E D B, B B C# C# C#, G# G# (Same as first line)
F# E D B, B B C#, G#
The commas indicate the places where there are short pauses. It's hard to
write musical notation here. These are the correct notes, just listen to
the pattern they're played on the record; also note that the G# is played
at two different octaves.Playing the solo on guitar is a fun substitute:

(obviously not written in perfect time)
I think the notes being played on the keyboard during the third chorus are
a series of 5ths going C# G#, C# G#, D# A#, B F#.
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 REGURGITATOR 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.
