Has anyone ever tried to learn Misirlou for CBG? I think I have it, but I may be off. I kinda got it from the Raga scale, although it goes off of it, some. Here it is for GDG, UP 0 1 4 5 7 10 12
Down 12 11 8 7 4 1 0
So far, the tab I have is this. Not worrying about the surf style now. Just the basic tune.
0 1 4 5 7 10 12 8 7
0 1 4 5 7 10 12 8 7
8 7 8 7 5 5 4 5 4 1 0
Seen in the first of this video.

Just picked up my guitar to try it out and I think you're close. The scale is double harmonic minor (Arabic), which would be this on the G string.
0 1 4 5 7 8 11
Try this out for the first two lines and see what you think. Feels like you need the 8th fret in there on the way up like so:
0 1 4 5 7 8 11 8 7

Thanks. I think I can get it, if I just go up and down that scale. That can be one of those finale songs like Thunderstruck. Turn up the teen/reverb, wank out, and just go nuts!
