x is a mute note which I think kinda fits in it. Those P's
mean you have to pop those notes.
Back to main riff (x2) until Variation 2 (0:35-0:40)

I'm not really sure about that 0-2-4-0 pattern, but I think it may be ok!
Then play main riff (x3) and then "And you're unhappy"-part (0:49-0:52)

Main riff (x2)
From 1:00 to 1:40 Brian Ritchie plays little variations of the main riff.
You can play whatever you want. Just play it softly!
I like to throw something like this in:
G|-----2--------0h2p0-----| G|-----2-----------------| G|-----2--------3-2-0-----|
D|-4-4---4-2-22-------2p0-| D|-4-4---4-2-/9-7--------| D|-4-4---4-2-22-------3-2-|

Bridge (1:41-1:56)
G|-----2------| G|---|
D|-4-4---4-2·-| Play this 4 times and end with D|-4-| (let ring)
A|------------| A|-4-|
E|------------| E|-2-|
