This should be a fair improvement over the other tab. I've broken the song into 25 parts for easy digestion but some parts lead on from one another so I strongly recommend listening to the track while practicing. There are occasional time stamps to help you find the place in the song.
Backslashes can't be used in tabs. I've swapped the backslash for a >, imagine it's chopped in half in the middle. Hopefully that's not too confusing.Tab symbols guide:
