WHAT NEW YORK USED TO BE - The Kills
 
 -------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Tabbed by: Filip Mesko
Email: filip DOT mesko AT gmail DOT com
Tuning: B F# B E G# C# (Tune to drop D and then tune everything three half-steps
lower. This is to get the low, bassy tone which Jamie's got.)
Basically the song is alternating between these two chords/notes:
[A#] [C]  
 
 C# |--------|--------|
 G# |--------|--------|
 E |--------|--------|
 B |---11---|---13---|
 F# |---11---|---13---|
 B |---11---|---13---|

Alternatively:
[A#] [C]  
 
 C# |--------|--------|
 G# |--------|--------|
 E |--------|--------|
 B |--------|--------|
 F# |--------|--------|
 B |---11---|---13---|

Sometimes Jamie's playing some fancy parts on the high strings.
Kind of this but very alternating:
( Tab from: http://www.guitartabs.cc/tabs/t/the_kills/what_new_york_used_to_be_tab.html )
[A#] [C]  
 
 C# |-------------9-9---|---------------------|
 G# |-------------------|-------11----11------|
 E |---10--10-10-------|---12-----12----12---|
 B |---11--------------|---13----------------|
 F# |---11--------------|---13----------------|
 B |---11--------------|---13----------------|

At 01:35 there is some sort of bridge (played twice):
[G#] [G] [F#] [F]  
 
 C# |-------|-------|-------|-------|
 G# |-------|-------|-------|-------|
 E |-------|-------|-------|-------|
 B |--(9)--|--(8)--|--(7)--|--(6)--|
 F# |--(9)--|--(8)--|--(7)--|--(6)--|
 B |---9---|---8---|---7---|---6---|

I'm sure you can stitch it together!
Good luck!
