Notes: This is my first tab so go easy on me ;)
Tuning: Drop D

Intro
e|----------------------------| *Note: The N means to plunk above the nut of 
B|--3--3--3-3-3---------------|  the 3rd string. With distortion, the sound 
G|--2--2--2-2-2----N-N-N-N----|  sounds better. If your guitar doesn't make 
D|--0--0--0-0-0---------------|  that sound (some don't), then find a pitch
A|--0--0--0-0-0---------------|  shifting pedal and make it go up 2 octives 
D|--0--0--0-0-0---------------|  and pluck the 7th fret on the 3rd string.

Verse
e|---| *Note: Pluck this every 4th beat for about 
B|---|  16 times, then comes the chorus.

2nd Verse
e|-----|---------| *Note: This part is very tricky and even harder if

G|--N--|------N--|  times, just like in Verse 1, but this time on the 9th
D|-----|--9------|  time around, play riff 2 and continue to do that 8
A|-----|--10-----|  more times, so just like Verse 1 the riffs are played

G|--2--2--2-2-2----xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx-0-0-|  have to tremolo pluck the 3rd and  
D|--0--0--0-0-0----xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx-----|  4th stings about 16 times like
