The bass repeats this part twice, and then the guitars come in with this part:
E|---------------------------------------------------------------------------|
B|---------------------------------------------------------------------------|
G|---0-----------0-----------0-----------5-x-5/7-7---------------------------|
D|---0-2-0-2-2---0-2-0-2-2---0-2-0-2-2---5-x-5/7-7---------------------------|

Play those three parts twice, and then hold the D# power chord. The lead part that ensues goes like this:
E|------------------------5/7------------------------------------------------|
B|---0-7--0-8-5--0-7--0-8----------------------------------------------------|
G|---------------------------------------------------------------------------|
D|---------------------------------------------------------------------------|
A|---------------------------------------------------------------------------|

After four times through, the full band comes in with this chord progression:
E|---------------------------------------------------------------------------|
B|---------------------------------------------------------------------------|
G|------------------------------4-4-4-4-4---4-4-4-4-4-4-4--------------------|

E|---0-0-0-0-0---0-0-0-0-0-0-0--5-5-5-5-5---5-5-5-5-5-5-5--------------------|
The lead part ends with this slight variation on the riff:

G|----------------------------7----------------------------------------------|

Play the first half of what's tabbed out there once, and the second half three times. The song then goes back

Then, slide down into this chord, and hold it until the verse begins:
E|---------------------------------------------------------------------------|
B|---------------------------------------------------------------------------|
G|---4-----------------------------------------------------------------------|
D|---4-----------------------------------------------------------------------|
A|---2-----------------------------------------------------------------------|

Repeat that verse part once, with this lead part played over it:

E|---------------------------------------------------------------------------|
Then the song hits the chorus, at around the three-minute mark now, and it goes something like this:
E|---------------------------------------------------------------------------|
B|---------------------------------------------------------------------------|
G|---4-4-4-4-4-4-4-4-4-4---------7-7---------------------7-7-9-9-12-12-------|

E|-----------------------------------5-5-5-5-5-5-5-5-5-5---------------------|
Hold that last G chord of the chorus, and then repeat the second half of the verse, with the lead part. Then,
return to the chorus; the second is musically identical to the first. Then, around 4:00 the song hits the
bridge:
E|---2----2----0----3------2----2--------------------------------------------|
B|---3----2----0----0------3----2--------------------------------------------|
G|---2----2----0----0------2----2---------4-4--------------------------------|
D|---0---------2----0------0---------2-2--4-4---5----------------------------|
A|-------------2----2----------------2-2--2-2---5----------------------------|
E|-------------0----3----------------0-0--------3----------------------------|
Hold the G chord, and this part starts again:
E|------------------------5/7------------------------------------------------|
B|---0-7--0-8-5--0-7--0-8----------------------------------------------------|
G|---------------------------------------------------------------------------|
D|---------------------------------------------------------------------------|
A|---------------------------------------------------------------------------|

E|---0-0-0-0-0---0-0-0-0-0-0-0--5-5-5-5-5---5-5-5-5-5-5-5--------------------|
Followed by this one, with the lead still going:
E|---------------------------------------------------------------------------|
B|---------------------------------------------------------------------------|
G|-------------------4-4-4-4-4-4-4-4-----------------------------------------|
D|---5-5-5-5-5-5-5-5-4-4-4-4-4-4-4-4-2-2-2-2-2-2-2-2-4-4-4-4-4-4-4-----------|

E|---3-3-3-3-3-3-3-3-----------------0-0-0-0-0-0-0-0-2-2-2-2-2-2-2-----------|
And this ending to the lead part:
E|---7-7-7-7-7-7-7-7--9--9--9--9--9--9--9--9---12----------------------------|
B|---6-6-6-6-6-6-6-6--10-10-10-10-10-10-10-10--13----------------------------|

D|---------------------------------------------------------------------------|
A|---------------------------------------------------------------------------|
E|---------------------------------------------------------------------------|
The song then goes back to one time through the verse. Then comes the dual solo. One guitar does this:
E|---------------------------------------------------------------------------|
B|------12----12-------12----12/14-12---10---10------10--10/12-10------------|
G|---/11----11---11--11----11----------9----9----9--9---9--------------------|

G|---7---7----7--7---7--------6----6---6--6---6------------------------------|
D|---------------------------------------------------------------------------|

While the other does this:
E|------10----10----------10-----10/12-10-----9-----9--------9----9/10--9----|
B|---12----12-----12---12-----12-----------10----10---10--10---10------------|
