My fingers know it but my brain doesn't yet — I can't play it without the tab in front of me. How do you all commit these to memory?

I had that exact problem. Turned out my thumb was anchoring in the wrong spot.

Memorization comes from playing it at a tempo you can think at. If you need the tab, you're playing it faster than you know it.
