VERSE
The basic riff, which appears in the intro, and I suppose ought to be
called the verse:
D-4--4--4-4-4-4-4-4-4-4-4-4-4-4-
A-4--4--4-4-4-4-2-2-2-2-2-2-2-2- Repeat for a bit
E-2--2--2-2-2-2-2-2-2-2-2-2-2-2-
CHORUS
By process of elimination, this bit must be the chorus. It's the bit
with vocals over the top of chord changes:
F#sus2 Esus2 F# Asus2 Bsus2 E F# Esus2 F#sus2 Esus2 F#
e----------------2----0-----2----0---2--------------------2--

THE NOODLY FLUTE LINE BIT
Which isn't actually a flute, but either a sampled guitar or voice...

version 3
Tuning: E A D G B E
Capo: 4th fret
Dunno if this is the way its actually played cos its hard to get good live footage, but
way sounds pretty damn good to me...
Tuning: Tuned to drop-d with a capo on the fourth fret
You're gonna need a lot of effects (reverb, eq etc) to get the right sound.

Verse
The strumming for this bit is just straightforward 8ths of a bar, i.e pretty fast, so im
gonna write the chord sequence
E|---------------------------------------------------------------------------------|
B|---------------------------------------------------------------------------------|
G|--2------0------7------5---------------------------------------------------------|
D|--0------0------7------0---------------------------------------------------------|
A|--5------3------5------8---------------------------------------------------------|
D|--5------3------0------8---------------------------------------------------------|
I think in some sections he's playing the second chord (3/3/0/0/-/-) with the octave on the D string (3/3/3/0/-/-)
for flare. I'd suggest playing around with it to get the right feel.
By the way the tabs are written with the fret the capo is on being zero...
Wake up
Don't fear

Love you
Yeah (doll of pain)
I let you get to me
Yeah yeah
Come back
Don't be
Afraid of me
