(main riff played throughout most of the song, sometimes when it is played for the final time before a chorus
or before the verse kicks in after the intro the four hits on the open e string are missed out.

Chorus chords (no solo in the chorus and I don't think the rhythm guitar plays much outside of the chorus)
   E5    B5    C5    G5
e|---------------------------------------------------------------------------|
B|---------------------------------------------------------------------------|
G|--9-----4-----5------------------------------------------------------------|
D|--9-----4-----5-----5------------------------------------------------------|
A|--7-----2-----3-----5------------------------------------------------------|
E|--------------------3------------------------------------------------------|
I like to play the B5 and G5 as transition chords between the main chords which are E5 and C5.
I use the strumming pattern E5 - DDUUD B5 - DDU C - DDUUD G - DDU

Rough rhythm is - 

E5              B5
Let your garden grow
C5                       G5
My eyes still twitch for nothing 

which is continued through the chorus but it's not that hard to figure out if you play along with the song


[Solo]                                           

e|-12br----------8br----------12br---------8br-------------------------------|(when i say br here it's because
B|-------12br----------5br----------12br-------------------------------------| he kind of doesn't fully bend
G|---------------------------------------------------------------------------| the note but goes in between
D|---------------------------------------------------------------------------| bent and normal, it's hard to
A|---------------------------------------------------------------------------| explain but you'll hear what I 
E|---------------------------------------------------------------------------| mean if you listen)

e|-----------------------------------12br-11br-10-12br-----------------------|
B|-5-7-7b8r(slow bend and release)-------------------------------------------| On the slow bend here from 7-8
G|---------------------------------------------------------------------------| pick the note whilst you bend 
D|---------------------------------------------------------------------------| and release it
A|---------------------------------------------------------------------------|
E|---------------------------------------------------------------------------|

Still sounds pretty good if you don't bend the notes.
I think the chorus chords are played throughout this but I'm not 100% sure as my rhythm ear isn't the best


[Outro]

e|---------------12br-11-12br-11-(hold the last two notes for quite long)----|
B|-5h7h8p7-5-0---------------------------------------------------------------| I'm not 100% sure about this 
G|---------------------------------------------------------------------------| part but it's in key and sounds
D|---------------------------------------------------------------------------| pretty good, if you add pull 
A|---------------------------------------------------------------------------| off's between the 7-5-0 it also
E|---------------------------------------------------------------------------| sounds good
