from now on I write the chords resulting from the bass and guitar part together.
Bass plays G A Bb C, guitar keeps arpeggiating on Gm 3553xx (or 3103xx?).

in the instrumental part, "Gm" means to alternate Gm and Gsus4, while
                          "Eb"  ...  ..    ...    Eb... (x43121@3) Eb6.

Gsus4 is 355533, Eb6 is x65543.

playing the song with a capo on the 3rd fret makes it easier.

the guitar riff is essentially made of two slighly different repeating figures:

|----------------------|
|-----------3-----3----|
|.-5----3-5---3-----3-.| over Gm
|.--------------------.|
|----------------------|
|----------------------|

|----------------------|
|-----------3-----3----|
|.-5----3-5---------3-.| over Eb and Cm
|.------------5-------.|
|----------------------|
|----------------------|

the only relevant variation, played over the F chord:

|----------------------|
|----------------------|
|--5-3-2----5-3-2------|
|--------5--------5-3--|
|----------------------|
|----------------------|
