I wrote this before I new anything about tablature and it is "backwards" 
from the standard tab so turn your Brain upside down and learn.  I figured 
this out all by myself and it took a whole stinkin week.  not bad though 
considering I never have taken guitar lessons...

This morning at work I got to thinking that I can at least help you out by
giving you the chords for the song and then you can finger pluck the rest.
 I don't have the 2nd part of the song learned yet when it goes up an
octave but more on that later.  First off, to make the song harder to
duplicate and learn & to fit C.J. Snare's vocal range, the song is played
in F#Major.  But since the song is impossible to play that way on a
guitar, they retune all the guitars and the instruments a half step down
so that you play a G Chord position but in reality you are hearing
F#Major.  Make sense?  Good, I knew it would. :-)
There are a lot of weird chords in this song that I haven't even seen in
books so I will have to describe them to you.
 
Also, for reference sake, I will number all the strings 1-6 like this:
 
                                   123456
                                   ------
                                   ||||||
                                   ------
                                   EADGBE
 
With #1 being the Bass string and #6 being the High E string.
 
The first chord is G Major.
-
Next put your index finger on the 2nd fret, #1 string; middle finger on 2nd
fret, #4 string; your ring finger on the 3rd fret, #5 string (D Major
Deviation no doubt!!!)
-
Next is E minor but also put your ring finger (or pinky) on 3rd fret, #6
string
-
The next chord is like D Major but don't put any fingers on the #6 string
(Another D Major Deviation)
-
I think the next chord is called "A Minor Sharp Seventh Flat" or something
like that but don't quote me on it.  Put your middle finger on the second
fret, 3rd string & index finger on 1st fret, #2 string.
-
Next is the toughest chord of the whole dang song (for me anywayz) - it is
a lot like playing a B7 (takes all four fingers and crams them within
millions of an inch of each other) but it is not B7th.
Index finger:  2nd fret, #2 string
Middle finger: 2nd fret, #4 string
Ring finger:   2nd fret, #6 string
Pinky:         3rd fret, #5 string
 
NOTE:  This chord is once again a derivative from D Major.  If you play
this chord and then lift up your index finger, you see that you are merely
playing a D Major with one more string added!!! I just said this so that
you can picture the chords better...don't make this part of the song or
anything....
-
C Major
-
D Major
 
And that is the beginning of the song.  You will figure the plucking out
yourself with a little time and patience.  These chords also form the
basis for Don't Treat Me Bad...they are just played real FAST and over and
over and over.  So don't expect to play Treat Me Bad until you have
mastered this song.  
 
I have given you all the chords for the first and major half of the song. 
You can play all the way up until CJ goes.."oooooooooooooooooooo, I finally
found the love...etc" when the song goes up an octave.  I know it goes to
A Major and I do know how to play the final plucking part of the song
also.  I hope this helps you to learn it. Slater!!!

All right so it isn't in tablature notation but heck, anyone can learn it 
when I write it like this.
