This doesn't follow the studio recording of the song, exactly, as there are, I think, two acoustic guitars strumming out chords and an electric guitar playing a couple of little riffs and the acoustics at times are kind of buried in the mix. But this is typically how it is played live and this is much more fun and energetic for the solo guitarist to play.
The whole song is just three parts, which I've tabbed down below.
Tuning is 1/2 step down.
For each chord change, slowly downstroke the chords and let the notes ring out a little before you start strumming the chords.
Part I is played behind the first four lines of each verse with Part II finishing the last line of each verse, demonstrated below.
And so on...
Intro
Verse Part I 6x
Verse Part II
Verse Part I 5x
Verse Part II
Verse Part I 2x
Bridge
Verse Part I 5x
Verse Part II
Verse Part I 2x
Outro
End on E chord, letting the notes ring out.
I'll probably tab some more Lanegan-solo songs here in the near future if and when I'm feeling up to it...
