I love this song. Hope you enjoy it to.

Tuning: Drop D. This is D A D G B e, so your low "E" must be down a tone,
so it sounds one octave lower than your 3rd string D. The reason for this
is that it makes the song easier to play, and in the chorus he lets out a
massively low D chord, which can only be obtained by this tuning.

Middle 8:

Continued from end of chrous, so sliding up from the 5th fret.
The 12th and 13th fret hammer-ons need to have delay used on them. 
A "hammer on" is when you hit the fretboard with your finger so it 
makes a noise, but without plucking the string. So pluck the 12th,
but not the 13th.

e----------12-h13-12-h13-12-h13-12-h13-12-h13-12-h13-12-h13-12-h13-12-h13-12-h13

Im not so sure abut this next part, but I play:

repeat the 12-h13 as much as necessary, then

Chorus again, then:

The song is actually written in drop C tuning. The way you have it doesn't sound a thing like it.
