This is the way I play this song.

If you found something like this --->       /s
You'll have to make a slide (from fret 12 to 5 in this case)   
When instead of a chord I put (N.P.), it means that you don't have to
play any chords there
USEFUL INFORMATION: Guitar 1 (The one who plays the riffs) plays with
soft distortion.
                    Guitar 2 (The one who plays chords) plays with no
distortion
These are the chords
       EADGBe      EADGBe
A     [x02220] or [577655]
C     [x32010] or [x35553]
F     [133211]
G     [320003] or [355433]
Bb    [688766] or [x14441]
A(Br) [xxx220]
Am    [x02210] or [577555]
Em    [x79987] or [022000]
Fm    [133111]
Well, I guess i've covered all the angles. If you have any corrections
