Note: The only difference between the intro and the section 1 part is that the first
arpeggio is played once
more in section 1 to fit the beat. The intro still sounds right since the drums don't
kick in until the
verse. Having said that, I don't know if it's just the version I have or if Jamie
actually intended it.

starts at 00:11

There are a heap of variations on the basslines throughout the song. Here are the ones I
could identify that
are playable on a standard guitar/bass. If you had to play it exactly like the original
you'd need to some
hectic low strings since he goes into really low octaves.
Either way you should mix it up because I'm almost certain that the bass is actually
never repeated. Every
bar is ever so slightly different....

starts at 00:50

While the steel drum plays the guitar plays a faint delayed note on repeat

starts at 01:40 after the sick pause
Marimba/glock thing

I don't know if he's using a delay effect or the guitar is actually playing every note
but for the sake of not
spamming the tab with one note for ages I've just showed the basic gist.

(Note: he doesn't actually get to 13 on the B string until he plays the next part)

For the remainder of the song he alternates between the following arpeggios. I think he
might change a couple
more notes than just the high e but it's difficult to hear since the guitar is low pass
filtered out of the
mix for a while in this section.

finally the guitar ends with this

At the end the horns/pad sound harmonises the root by just sorta shuffling over the Db chord.
You can achieve a similar thing on guitar by playing the following chords.
