    4th Guitar Outro filler

c |-15~---15b-r-13(vibrate)--12h13r12-|
G |-----------------------------------|   this part is played at the same time
Eb|-----------------------------------|   as the 1st Guitar's main riff, but filled 
Bb|-----------------------------------|   each time overtop of the beginning part
F |-----------------------------------|   of the main riff.
C |-----------------------------------|

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
This the order it is played in.

(main riff intro) (5x)
(bridge w/ main riff) (3x)
(verse) (4x)
(chorus) (4x)
(main riff interlude) (4x)
(verse) (2x)
(chorus) (4x)
(outro) (10x)

1st Guitar - light distortion.
2nd Guitar - has a Vox amp fuzz sound.
3rd Guitar - has a organ sound and a little reverb on it. 
              And is faintly played in the background.
4th Guitar - same distortion as 1st Guitar.

~ - let ring
x - palm mute the notes above the x's.
b - bend
r - release
h - hammer

Just listen to the song to understand where all the parts come in at, like
 the 4th Guitar filler.  I tried to explain it best I could, but this is my
 1st tab.
