Intro:
"One, two, three, four..."
-4-4-x-x-0-0--0-xxx-x-7--x-xx--6--6-6-|

-4-4-x-x-0-0--0-xxx-x-7--x-xx---------|
*Playing the B (4th fret) on the G string for that last chord is optional...I'm not sure 
they really play that or not.

Main Riff:
------------------------------------------------------------------|
---------7-7-x-x-7-7-7-7-----7-7-7-7-----7-7-7-7~7----------------|
---------4-4-x-x-4-4-4-4-4-4-4-4-4-4-4-4-4-4-4-4~4---6b8r6-6-4-4--|
-6-6-6-6----------------------------------------------------------|
------------------------------------------------------------------|
------------------------------------------------------------------|

Repeat this during the verse, with an acoustic guitar playing the intro riff and the 
guitar playing the main riff (sometimes through a flanger).

Chorus:
------------------------------------------------------------------------------|
----7---7---7---7---7---7---7---7----12--12--12--12--12--12--12---------------|
--4---4---4---4---4---4---4---4-----------------------------------6b8r6-6-----|
-6---------------------------------9---9---9---9---9---9---9--------------4-4-|
------------------------------------------------------------------------------|
------------------------------------------------------------------------------|
play twice, then there's a guitar playing this note after the chorus:
--11~--|
-------|
-------|
-------|
-------|
-------|

...then the electric guitar plays the main riff with the acoustic playing the intro 
seven or eight times.
Bridge:
-4------||--4---------7--------6---------------------||
---4----||----5---------7--------7------------------o||
-----4--||------4--6/-----8p6------6(bend 1/4 step)--||
--------||-------------------------------------------||
--------||------------------------------------------o||
--------||-------------------------------------------||
play four times then
-chorus twice
-verse riff seven or eight times

Breakdown:
"Oh...guitar..."
------------------------------------|
------------------------------------|
----4-x-x-6-x-x-4-x-x---------------|
-6--4-x-x-6-x-x-4-x-x-4-x-x--6-6-6--|
-6--------------------4-x-x--6-6-6--|
-4---------------------------4-4-4--|

variations on this are played with wah and flanger effects.

at about 4:30:
----------|
----------|
----------|
-4/6-4/6--|
-4/6-4/6--|
-2/4-2/4--|

...then just play variations on the breakdown until fadeout.

That's about it!
Peace.
