I looked at the other three that were on here, and they are either incomplete
with parts (one gives correct chords but no lead), or had OK-ish leads with
wrong chords.

The song is in the key of Eb, so I'll name the chords that way, too.

**I strongly suggest you play this song fingerstyle.**

Chords: These are played over and over for almost the entire song.
Eb: e -  Bb: e - Ab: e -
    B 4      B 3     B 1
    G 3      G 3     G 1
    D 5      D 3     D 1
    A 6      A 5     A 3
    e -      E(6)    e 4

  Eb       Bb        Ab

Now the "lead" part, which really just brings in a fill between vocal
phrases. I'm sure this isn't exactly how he plays it, but its the melodies
that are more important than the bass notes of the part:
     sl.     
|--3-6/8---------|----------------|
|4---------6-8p6-|--4-6p4-----4---|
|3---------7-----|--5-------5-----|
|----------------|----------6-----|

Now the little dark part at the end of each verse:
F min Ab min
|-1-| |-4-|
|-1-| |-4-|
|-1-| |-4-|
|-3-| |-6-|
|-3-| |-6-|
|-1-| |-4-|

Now the climax: *Light distortion on*
  Eb                           F min  Ab
|-3-| thru most of it until... |-1-| |-4-|
