I've seen one tab for this song...and it's quite wrong,
so I'm gonna do this right.

Main riff:

e|-------1p0------------------|
B|--3-3------3-1--------------|
G|--2--2---------2---0--------|
D|--0--------------3---2---0--|
A|-----------------------3----|
E|----------------------------|

Riff x2 
I need your confidence, need to know your mine 
When it gets right down to the killing time 
I know your heart is bad, but it's all I've ever had 
We can live our lives on this righteous crime

(Play a freestyle version of the main riff:)
I got kicked when I was down and a sailor took my girl to town 
then she licked my wounds with the sea dog's salt 
I drank a half a bottle of jack, swore I'd never take you back 
by the bottle's end I was on that phone. 

A#            C         A 
What you call compromise I don't understand 
A#            C         A              C
What you call compromise---I don't understand 

D                     F  G
How do you walk away? 
D                     F  G
How do you walk away? 
D                                      F       G 
Oh walk away from a woman that gone and done you wrong? 

Solo:
For the first part of the solo, use this scale
E --------------------------10-13- 
B ---------------------10-13------ 
G ----------------10-12----------- 
D -----------10-12---------------- 
A ------10-12--------------------- 
E -10-13-------------------------- 
The second half is basically riff 2 with a few frills.
