NOTES:
- It uses Eb tuning, but doesn't sound too bad in standard (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RSpyNWVj4ek)
- Pull-offs are optional, it's just how I personally play it.
The song alternates between the following three lines:
A)
Gb|--------------------------------|--------------------------------|--------------------------------|
Db|--------------------------------|----------------------------7---|5~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~|
Ab|----------------0-3-3-3~~-5-----|----------------7-----5---------|--------------------------------|
Eb|----------------------------0~~~|~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~-----------------|--------------------------------|
   H               S S S E   S H.                   E.    E.    E    W
B)
Gb|----------------5p4-------------|--------------------------------|--------------------------------|

   H               S S S E   S H.                   E.    E.    E    W
C)
Gb|-/12~~~~~~~~~~--12p11--------------|--------------------------------|--------------------------------|
Db|----------------------12------12---|----------------------------7---|5~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~|
Ab|-------------------------12~~~-----|----------------7-----5---------|--------------------------------|

   E Q.             S  S  S  E    S H.                  E.    E.    E    W
The studio version (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_siJRgDlddY), entering at around 0:15, goes:
A-A-B-A
C-B-C-A
B-A
C-B-A-B
C-A
B-A-C-A-B-C*
* At the end he plays Ab9 Ab10 instead of Db12 Eb12.
I personally combine them as I please. The full song would look like this:
