G|-4444-4444-4444-4444--| x4
D|-4444-4444-4444-4444--|
A|-2222-2222-2222-2222--|
E|----------------------| | Also he's tremolo
                                          | picking this while
And then, this cool riff                  | playing the main riff
E|-------------------------------------| | e|--------------|
B|-------------------------------------| | B|--------------|
G|-4---4444-4---4444-4---4444-4---4444-| | G|-4N-4b5N-br4N-|
D|-4---4444-4---4444-4---4444-4---4444-| | D|--------------|
A|-0h2-2222-0h2-2222-0h2-2222-0h2-2222-|  | A|-2N-2b3N-br2N-|
E|-0h2-2222-0h2-2222-0h2-2222-0h2-2222-| | E|--------------|
                                         
And then, after playing the main riff four times,
E|-----------------------------------------------------------|
B|-----------------------------------------------------------|
G|-7-------7-----------------4---444-4---444-4---444-4---444-|
D|-7-7-5-7-7-7-5-7-5---------4---444-4---444-4---444-4---444-| x4
A|-5-7-5-7-5-7-5-7-5---------0h2-222-0h2-222-0h2-222-0h2-222-|
E|---5-3-5---5-3-5-3-(3/17\3)0h2-222-0h2-222-0h2-222-0h2-222-|

After playing the riff above two times this starts playing
E|E|-------------------------------------------------------------|--------------|
B|E|-------------------------------------------------------------|--------------|
G|-9/11-11-11-11-9/11-11-11-11-9/11-11-11-11-9/11-11-11-11-------------------|
D|-9/11-11-11-11-9/11-11-11-11-9/11-11-11-11-9/11-11-11-11-------------------|
A|-7/9---9--9--9-7/9---9--9--9-7/9---9--9--9-7/9---9--9--9-------------------|
E|E|-------------------------------------------------------------|--------------|

And then, this again, but space the strums out like the strums on the very
first riff 
E|-------------------------------------|
B|-------------------------------------|
G|-4---4444-4---4444-4---4444-4---4444-|
D|-4---4444-4---4444-4---4444-4---4444-|
A|-0h2-2222-0h2-2222-0h2-2222-0h2-2222-|  
E|-0h2-2222-0h2-2222-0h2-2222-0h2-2222-|  

And then, I don't know in the slightest what he plays for the soft/ clean 
interlude section. But the guitar does play that B note (Fret 2 on A and fret
4 on G) and the bass plays this
G|-------------------------------------------------------|
D|-9-9-7--9-9-7--9-9-7--9-9-7--9-9-7--9-9-7-4-4-2--4-4-2-|
A|------7-------------7-------------7------------2-------|
E|-------------------------------------------------------|

Then
G|--------------------------|
D|-4-4-2-4-4-2--4-4-2-4-4-2-|
A|--------------------------|
E|--------------------------|

And back to guitar. So now, he plays this
E|------------------------------------|
B|------------------------------------|
G|-7-7-7------------------------7-7-7-|
D|-7-7-7--7-9--7-9--7-9-7-9-7-7-7-7-7-| x8
A|-5-5-5--7-9--7-9--7-9-7-9-7-7-5-5-5-|
E|--------5-7--5-7--5-7-5-7-5-5-------|

Then he goes on a little bridge. I do not feel like tabbing out the specific
strumming pattern so just listen and strum along with him. The chords are:

   B   to   D   to   D#  to   E
E|------------------------------|
B|------------------------------| Play this twice and the second time
G|-4--------7--------8--------9-| continue strumming along until he
D|-4--------7--------8--------9-| goes back to playing the previous
A|-2--------5--------6--------7-| riff, which is:
E|------------------------------|

E|------------------------------------|
B|------------------------------------|
G|-7-7-7------------------------7-7-7-|
D|-7-7-7--7-9--7-9--7-9-7-9-7-7-7-7-7-| x8
A|-5-5-5--7-9--7-9--7-9-7-9-7-7-5-5-5-|
E|--------5-7--5-7--5-7-5-7-5-5-------|

And then he goes on another bridge thing, again, I'm not going to tab out 
the pattern, this one is a lot easier anyways

   B to C# to D to F# to E
E|------------------------------|
B|------------------------------|
G|-4----6-----7----11----9--(9)-|
D|-4----6-----7----11----9--(9)-| x8
A|-2----4-----5-----9----7--(7)-|
E|--------------------------(7)-|

And then back to:
E|------------------------------------|
B|------------------------------------|
G|-7-7-7------------------------7-7-7-|
D|-7-7-7--7-9--7-9--7-9-7-9-7-7-7-7-7-| x8
A|-5-5-5--7-9--7-9--7-9-7-9-7-7-5-5-5-|
E|--------5-7--5-7--5-7-5-7-5-5-------|

But halfway through one (or both?) 
guitar(s) swtich to this 
E|------------------------------------|
B|------------------------------------|
G|-7-7-7------------------------------|
D|-7-7-7--7-9--7-9--7-9-7-9-7-9-3-3-3-| x4
A|-5-5-5--7-9--7-9--7-9-7-9-7-9-3-3-3-|
E|--------5-7--5-7--5-7-5-7-5-7-1-1-1-|

E|------------------------------------|
B|------------------------------------|
G|-7-7-7------------------------7-7-7-|
D|-7-7-7--7-9--7-9--7-9-7-9-7-7-7-7-7-| x8
A|-5-5-5--7-9--7-9--7-9-7-9-7-7-5-5-5-|
E|--------5-7--5-7--5-7-5-7-5-5-------|

And then this, which is play on both electric and acoustic:
E|---------------------------|
B|---------------------------|
G|-(2)-(4)---9-7-7/10-9-7--4-|
D|-(2)-(4)-----------------4-|
A|-(0)-(2)-7-7-5-5/8--7-5--2-|
E|---------------------------|
                           ^
 And then just strum that  B until he starts over again

E|-------------------------------------------------------------|

So that is it from me (for now), I hope this helps the 
community and fans figure out how to play this fantastic 
song.
