figure out the rhythms etc yourself. (i.e. play while listening to the record)
shouldn't be that much of a problem, it's a really easy song.

[] riff 1 (0:00-0:16)

semi-clean sound

just keep playing these notes using downstrokes only (sounds best)
B |--------------------------------|  (x2) 
G#|--------------------------------|       
E |7-7-7-7-7-7-7-7-7-7-7-7-7-7-7-7-|       
B |--------------------------------|       
F#|5-5-5-5-5-5-5-5-5-5-5-5-5-5-5-5-|       
B |0-0-0-0-0-0-0-0-0-0-0-0-0-0-0-0-|       

[] riff 2a (0:16-0:24)

heavily distorted

same as before
B |--------------------------------|  (x2) 
G#|--------------------------------|       
E |7-7-7-7-7-7-7-7-7-7-7-7-7-7-7-7-|       
B |--------------------------------|       
F#|5-5-5-5-5-5-5-5-5-5-5-5-5-5-5-5-|       
B |0-0-0-0-0-0-0-0-0-0-0-0-0-0-0-0-|       

[] riff 2b (0:24-0:32)

same as riff 2a, but the second guitar track goes like this:
B |------------------------------------------------| 
G#|------------------------------------------------| 
E |19-19-19-17-17-17-17-19-19-19-19-17-17-17-17-19-|

                                    [ slight bend ]
B |------------------------------------------------| 
G#|------------------------------------------------| 
E |19-19-19-19-19-19-19-19-19-19-19-19-19-19-19-19-|

F#|17-17-17-15-15-15-15-17-17-17-17-17-17-17-17-17-| 
B |------------------------------------------------| 

then riff 2a again

then riff 2b again

riff 3 (0:48-1:24) (tricky bit) (which isn't really all that tricky if you just listen
                                 carefully to the cd and memorise the rhythm)
B |------------------------------------| (x8)         
G#|------------------------------------|              
E |7-7-7---------7-7-7-----------------|

B |0-0-0-0-0-0-0-0-0-0-00000000-0-0-12\|

B |0-0-0-0-0-0-0-0-0-0-0-0-0-0-0-0-|       

then riff 3 for another 12 times (1:40-2:35)

riff 5a (2:35-2:46)
B |------------------------------------------------|  (x2) 
G#|------------------------------------------------|       
E |7-7-7-------7-7-7-------7-7-7-------7-7-7-------|       
B |------0-0-0-------0-0-0-------0-0-0-------0-0-0-|       
F#|5-5-5-0-0-0-5-5-5-0-0-0-5-5-5-0-0-0-5-5-5-0-0-0-|

F#|6-6-6-0-0-0-6-6-6-0-0-0-6-6-6-0-0-0-6-6-6-0-0-0-|       
B |------0-0-0-------0-0-0-------0-0-0-------0-0-0-|       

then the quiet part, (3:00 onward) which I'm too lazy to fully transcribe.
you can just follow the bass by playing octaves. they are:
B |--------------------------------|   
G#|--------------------------------|   
E |7---5---2-----------------------|   
B |------------10---7---3---0------|   
F#|5---3---0-----------------------|   
B |------------10---7---3---0------|   

you figure out the rhythm etc yourself :D

quiet part lasts until around 4:40, then the "build-up" starts.

just play this every fourth beat: (semi-clean sound)
B |--------------------------------| 
G#|--------------------------------| 
E |7-------------------------------| 
B |--------------------------------| 
F#|5-------------------------------| 
B |--------------------------------| 

then, at 6:02, play:

riff 2a x2
riff 2b x1
riff 2a x2
riff 2b x1

then:

riff 6a (6:34 onwards)
B |----------------------------------------| 
G#|----------------------------------------|

riff 6c (might be tricky, listen carefully to the rhythm)
B |-------------------------------| 
G#|-------------------------------| 
E |7-7-7-7-7-7-7------------------| 
B |--------------6-6\3-3\2-2/3-3/6| 
F#|5-5-5-5-5-5-5-6-6\3-3\2-2/3-3/6| 
B |0-0-0-0-0-0-0-6-6\3-3\2-2/3-3/6| 

play fig.6 (6a, 6b, 6a, 6c) 3 more times
