It sounds like there are two guitar tracks on this, one playing the bass part and a second one doing the fills up around the ninth fret. I've tried to tab it out so that you can play both parts at the same time (that is, you don't have to be at the fourth and ninth position at the same time).
Frinstance for the fill around "only knew what they taught me", guitar 2 actually plays :
e------------------------11-- B-------------------9h11----- only knew what they taught me
but you can get away with playing:
e-------------------4-/--11-- only knew what they taught me
....and still be playing the bass part/chord at the same time :)
Everything's played with a barred E shape. It's in Ab.
E A D G B e 4 6 6 5 4 4 - 11 13 13 12 11 11 - 9 11 11 10 9 9 - 8 10 10 8 8 8 - 6 8 8 7 6 6 - x 8 10 10 9 8 - Fm
The intro & verses bass part pretty much just follows the progression Ab Eb Db Eb....
..sometimes just following the bass notes, with a bit of percussion :
e--------11----- e-11-11-11--4 B-4---/11-------- B-11-11-11--4 G------------ they were right & I was wrong I just had to tag along
e----11----- e-4--/-11--- B----11--11- B----------- G-12-----12- D-13-------- only knew what they taught me remember when they caught me
e------------------------------------------------------------------- B--9--------------------------------------------11------------------ G-10--------------------------------------------12------------------ D-11--------------------------------------------13------------------ A-11--------------------------------------------13------------------ E--9--------------------------------------------11---11-11--9-8-6-4- not disobeying, just trying to get out of the way
e-4--/-11-- e--9--9------------- B-4--/-11-- B--9--9--11----11--- G--------12----12--- it came to a head one night two dances two fights
e---11- e-11-11- B---11- B-11-11- G-12--- D-13--- & as I walked home with blood and the tears on my best shirt
B--9-----11-11-11-- G-10-----12-12-12--
and someone said "will they come after you?"
e-------------------------------------------------------------- B-------------------------------------------------------------- G-10-------------------------7--------------------------------- D-11-------------------------8--------------------------------- A-11-------------------------8--------------------------------- E--9------------------9--8---6------------------------6---8---- I began to wonder what did I do wrong here
e-------------------------------------------------------------- B-------------------------------------------------------------- G-10----------------------------------------------------------- D-11------------------------11/13------------------------------ A-11------------------------11/13------------------------------ E--9----------------------9--9/11------------------------------ I began to wonder do I belong here ?
