Need help with finding an accurate tab of a song

Post by gnomethrone »

Hey folks. My ol' lady wants me to learn this song for a band were doing:

It's pretty simple but there are two problems:
1. I've tried a few tabs and they all say different tuning and none of them sound right.
2. Im a shitty guitar player who knows more about fuzz pedals than music theory and it would be real hard to figure it out myself without at least knowing what tuning I should be in. A few tabs say standard, one says D standard, one says drop A.

Can an actual musician point me in the right direction?

Sounds like it's in A.
I don't have a guitar that'll tune that low and be stable, but transposing it, it sounds right to me.
The tab for it doesn't capture enough, though.
Sounds like there's a synth line in there, at least two guitars and a bass.
Since I always forget:

Ok cool. I can set up a guitar for that this weekend and try it out. And yeah I figured I would just play the riffs, loop it and do those bends over it for a simple version.
