Performance Notes:
Tuning (low to high): D A D G A D
 
The trickiest thing about this tune is probably the rhythm – a lot of the bass notes are "pushed" onto the last semiquaver of the bar, making it feel all jumpy. Often the drum-sounds fill in the missing downbeats, so try to incorporate them straight away.
 
CHORUS: I've split this into right hand and left hand parts. An "X" in the tab represents a drum hit.

Each string represents a different drum sound.

6th string = hit above soundhole with ball of right thumb.

4th string = right hand thumb on upper bout, above fingerboard.
 
In the "I think I'm coming aroouuuuuuund" bit, I've split it into guitar and "drums". The drum part is very simple, but I couldn't fit it into the guitar part. Basically I'm popping my thumb off the guitar's top in different places (when my thumb isn't busy playing the bizarrely syncopated bassline). X on 5th string = hit above soundhole with thumb. (X on 4th string = same as chorus!)
