The lead part is played three times. The first time is on acoustic, exactly as tabbed. The second time is on electric, where he bends the strings instead of hammering and pulling off, adds a few twiddles, and uses a slight delay. However,
it sounds fine playing the solo exactly as on the acoustic, but with bends, and I can't work out most of the little bits
he does. Maybe I'll correct this later. The third time through is exactly as tabbed, and both the acoustic and electric play it. I have not tabbed all the rhythm part because I'm not great with working out open string chords. However, I know it ends on a harmonic 12th fret on the high e. As a note, this is an interesting song to do with another guitarist in a soundcheck or rehearsal or whatever if you're in a band. One plays the acoustic, one the electric. Play about, it's good for doing this.
