 [Bassline] 


 There are a heap of variations on the basslines throughout the song. Here are the ones I


 could identify that


 are playable on a standard guitar/bass. If you had to play it exactly like the original


 you'd need to some


 hectic low strings since he goes into really low octaves.


 Either way you should mix it up because I'm almost certain that the bass is actually


 never repeated. Every


 bar is ever so slightly different....

 [Guitar solo (kinda)] 


 I don't know if he's using a delay effect or the guitar is actually playing every note


 but for the sake of not


 spamming the tab with one note for ages I've just showed the basic gist.

 (Note: he doesn't actually get to 13 on the B string until he plays the next part)

 For the remainder of the song he alternates between the following arpeggios. I think he


 might change a couple


 more notes than just the high e but it's difficult to hear since the guitar is low pass


 filtered out of the


 mix for a while in this section.

 [Intro]
 Note: The only difference between the intro and the section 1 part is that the first
 arpeggio is played once
 more in section 1 to fit the beat. The intro still sounds right since the drums don't
 kick in until the
 verse. Having said that, I don't know if it's just the version I have or if Jamie
 actually intended it.

 [Outro]
 At the end the horns/pad sound harmonises the root by just sorta shuffling over the Db chord.
 You can achieve a similar thing on guitar by playing the following chords.
 
 Db Db[2] Dbsus2 Db[3]
 
 e| 1 4 4 8
 B| 2 6 4 9
 G| 1 6 6 8
 D| 3 6 6 6
 A| 4 4 4 x
 E| x x x x
