Tablature Explanation:


     (12)         - "ghost note" (not played or still ringing /op
                     tionally can be played)  

     P.M.         - Palm (right hand) muting

     A.H.         - Artificial Harmonic
     
     /            - slideing "up"

                 - slideing "down"

     /12          - picking & slideing to 12 (at the same time)

     12          - picking & sliding from 12 (at the same time)
 
     15~         - slideing "down" after vibratio

     ^            - bend (as well known, it is usually done with 2 or 3 fingerS)
     
     ~            - vibratio 

     17^19*       - bend & mute (do not release; bend dinamicly; mute
                           with right hand)

     19(17)^^17   - pre-bend & release (prebended with right hand
                              muting from 17 to 19)
     
     ^^           - release slowly but dinamicly

     --/--        - pick once during (at the begining of) the slide (this is just
                      a (special:) effect/ noise etc.) 

     (1 2 3 4)    - finger sequence/ fingering (first finger/index/, second,
                         third and fourth finger) ((ususally left hand:)) 
     


INTRO/BRIDGE/OUTRO:

      Gmaj 7/6                         
e: ---------------0-------------(0)-----------|
B: -----------12--------12------(12)----------|
G: -------11----------------11--(11)----------|
D: ---12------------------------(12)----------|
A: -------------------------------------------|
E: -------------------------------------------|

      Dmaj 7/9
e: ------------0----------------(0)-----------|
B: ---------7--------7----------(7)-----------|
G: ------6--------------6-------(6)-----------|
D: ---7-------------------------(7)-----------|
A: -------------------------------------------|
E: -------------------------------------------|

 There is no prime/basic note (G or D) played, which makes the chord
even more Jazz-like.


 

VERSE: 

e: ------------------------------------------------------------|
B: ------------------------------------------------------------|
G: ------------------------------------------------------------|
D: ------------------------------------------------------------|
A: --0--2--x--x--x--x----3--2--(x)--x--x--x----/12-12-12--(x)-|
E: --0--2--x--x--x--x----3--2--(x)--x--x--x----/12-12-12--(x)-|
           |--P.M.--|               |-------P.M.-------| 

This is the rithmic part:
(x) is there to help to catch the rithm, but isn't played. 
(If you woud like to count: 1 2 3  1 2 3  1 2 which adds up to 8) 


This was the idea, but the original track may difere at some points.


Here are some variations:

VERSE 

VAR. "A"
e: ------------------------------------0--0--0--0--0--0--------|
B: ---------------------------(5?)(5?)-5--5--5--5--5--5--------|
G: ------------------------------------------------------------|
D: ------------------------------------------------------------|
A: --0--2--x--x--x--x----3--2--x--(x)--------------------------|
E: --0--2--x--x--x--x----3--2--x--(x)--------------------------|
           |--P.M.--|        (P.M.)

This is the most important one, which still exists in some versions (in 
the song). 
Catch the idea, and be creative...


VAR. "B"
e: ------------------------------------------------------------|
B: ---------------------------------5--------------------------|
G: -----------------------------2------------------------------|
D: ------------------------5~----------------------------------|
A: --0--2--(x)--x--x--x----3~----------------------------------|
E: --0--2--(x)--x--x--x----------------------------------------|
                |-P.M.-|

This one is played before the scratch solo (1 min : 57 sec). 
The last two notes are played softly.

I am fully aware of the techniques used here; I wasn't too interested
though. 
Only because I'm not a DJ. Improvise! 
((2x "INTRO/BRIDGE/OUTRO">> for the bass guitar it is similar to the
intro/bridge/outro part.
It repeatedly plays the riff that is usually played with Gmaj7/6))
(2:21)

    S  O  L  O
It is hard to write down, when it starts, because the drummer turns the
whole beat around for fun. Actually the second note is measured or 
falls with the measure. Practice Slowly!!
(If you don't want to learn the mistakes you make during practicing)
