Tuning: B F# B E G# C# (Tune to drop D and then tune everything three half-steps
lower. This is to get a low, bassy tone which Jamie's got.)
Basically the song alternates between these two very low, bassy notes:
(Played in a couple of different ways throughout the song, but anything
sounds good. The notes are also played on the higher B string, especially
in the beginning.)
MI RE RE MI
C# |-------|-------|-------|-------|

E |-------|-------|-------|-------|
B |-------|-------|-------|-------|
F# |-------|-------|-------|-------|
B |---5---|---3---|---3---|---5---|
Alternatively you could play the (power) chords occationally
(to spice things up):
MI RE
C# |-------|-------|
G# |-------|-------|
E |-------|-------|
B |---5---|---3---|
F# |---5---|---3---|
B |---5---|---3---|
The chorus is sung (possibly through a vocoder) but it sounds good to
play it, too:
C# |---------------|----------------|---------------|
G# |---------------|----------------|---------------|
E |---------------|----------------|---------------|
B |-----------5~--|-----------3~---|-----------5~--|
F# |---------------|----------------|---------------|
B |---5-5-5-5-----|---3---3--------|---5-5-5-5-----|
Alternatively:

F# |---------------|----------------|---------------|
B |---------------|----------------|---------------|
That sublime acoustic note which is heard in the chorus after every
E D E-sequence:
G# |---6~--|
Then, around 01:49, there is some sort of bridge which is basically G:
SOL SOL SOL
C# |-------| |-------| |--------|
G# |-------| |-------| |---11~--|
E |-------| |-------| |--------|
B |-------| AND/OR |---8---| AND/OR |--------|
F# |-------| |---8---| |--------|
B |---8---| |---8---| |--------|
Finally we've got that humming octave voice which is barely heard in the
choruses (but very clear in the end):
