Please excuse if my notation is non-standard!
s = slide
p = pull-off
-14b(15)- = fret and pick 14th fret and bend to pitch of 15th fret
This is roughly how the acoustic guitar plays during the verses and solos.
(I've omitted writing some of the chords names above the lyrics for space):
During the intro and the first time after every chorus - play something like:
