Tabbed by:

Awesome song off his new record, figured I would share what I've worked out so far. Not 100% accurate, but
this is enough to nail the background rhythm part that drives the song. Keep in mind that
there is a bunch of lead playing that goes over top of this. 

There are easier ways to play some parts of these riffs, but some of these hammer-ons need to happen to get
it to sound like the recording. 

Make sure to listen to the song to get the feel of the song down.
Enjoy!

Tuning: Drop D, Capo 4th Fret (tab relative to the capo)
