Humans Being Tab

INTRO 
It's basically just the 7th position open E followed by 4th and 6th position versions of the 
standard E chord shape. The cool part is just based off of an arpeggiated open C with a couple 
little twists thrown in. Very simple, very cool sounding.

That is the main base riff of the whole song. 

Now this is what I hear behind the chorus..

Next is the solo, which I doubt I'm going to figure out here on my acoustic guitar...at 
least until I figure out how to mount that tremolo bar ;)
