  Intro/ Main riff
e|---------------------------------------------------------------------------|
B|---------8h(b9)---8--6--8---4------------------------------------------------|
G|-5--6----8h10---8--6--8---5h6p5--5-----------------------------------------|
D|-6--8~---------------------------6~----------------------------------------|
A|---------------------------------------------------------------------------|
E|---------------------------------------------------------------------------|

Around 1:35, he still plays the main riff, but also this is played:
e|---------------------------------------------------------------------------|
B|-8h(b9)-(b9)-(b9)-(b9)--8---6--6--6--6-----8h(b9)-(b9)-(b9)-(b9)--8---6--6--6--6-------|
G|---------------------------------------------------------------------------|
D|---------------------------------------------------------------------------|
A|---------------------------------------------------------------------------|
E|---------------------------------------------------------------------------|

e|---------------------------------------------------------------------------|
B|-8h(b9)-(b9)-(b9)-(b9)--8---6--6--6--6-----8h(b9)-(b9)-(b9)-(b9)--8---6--6--6--6~------|
G|---------------------------------------------------------------------------|
D|---------------------------------------------------------------------------|
A|---------------------------------------------------------------------------|
E|---------------------------------------------------------------------------|

Directly after that, this riff is played, with some overdrive:
e|---------------------------------------------|
B|---------------------------------------------|
G|---------8/10---8----------------------------|
D|-6--8~-------------8----6-6-6-6-6------6-----|
A|-----------------------------------6h8---6h8-|
E|---------------------------------------------|
This is repeated four times, where the last time misses the 'hammer-on' part.

Return to the main riff for a while, then:
e|-8------6------8------6------8------6------8------6------------------------|
B|-(b9)-----8------(b9)-----8------(b9)-----8------(b9)-----8------------------------|
G|-10-----8------10-----8------10-----8------10-----8------------------------|
D|-10-----8------10-----8------10-----8------10-----8------------------------|
A|-8------6------8------6------8------6------8------6------------------------|
E|---------------------------------------------------------------------------|

After that, this riff is played again:
e|---------------------------------------------|
B|---------------------------------------------|
G|---------8/10---8----------------------------|
D|-6--8~-------------8----6-6-6-6-6------6-----|
A|-----------------------------------6h8---6h8-|
E|---------------------------------------------|
Same number of repeats as before.

e|---------------8------6------8------6------8------6------8------6----------|
B|---------------(b9)-----8------(b9)-----8------(b9)-----8------(b9)-----8----------|
G|-7/9~--------10-----8------10-----8------10-----8------10-----8----------|
D|---------------10-----8------10-----8------10-----8------10-----8----------|
A|---------------8------6------8------6------8------6------8------6----------|
E|---------------------------------------------------------------------------|
These chords go on for a while. I'm sorry, but I'm too lazy to count them.

When he plays the Fm for the third time, this riff comes in:
e|---------------------------------------------------------------------------|
B|-8h(b9)(b9)8h9p8----4h6-6-4h6p4--------8h(b9)(b9)8h9p8----4h6-6-4h6p4----------|
G|------------------------------5~----------------------------------5~-------|
D|----------------------------------------------------------------------8--6~|
A|---------------------------------------------------------------------------|
E|---------------------------------------------------------------------------|

Somewhere around 4:03, this lick is also played twice...
e|------------------|
B|------------------|
G|-/10---8--6---5~--|
D|------------------|
A|------------------|
E|------------------|

And the song ends with...
e|----------------------------------|
B|----------------------------------|
G|----------------------------------|
D|-6--8~----------------------------|
A|---------/8---6-------------------|
E|-----------------6----4-4-4-4-4~--|
