This is an edit of the 1st version of "Panic Station" on Ultimate Guitar.
It was a good tab but I thought it could do with a few tweaks, I hope you like them.
This is for an acoustic version of the song, so although it might work playing along
with the official track some parts may sound a little different
(in order to fill in the blank spaces, for example at the end of each chorus,
on the studio version the C chord is the last one of the chorus, and you can choose to
omit the extras I've added,
I just like having something else to play acoustically where there would usually be
bass, drums, synths and whatever else).
Bracketed numbers are optional, it's probably better without but I think it's still a
good idea to use the same fingering as an E chord for E5 for example.

This a sort of rhythm for the power chords throughout the song.
I've left out the brackets here, just because it's much easier to show the rhythm
without them.
