D|-2-2-2--4-4-4--5-5-5--77777777-9------------------------------|

2, 4 and 5 are played pretty slow. The rhythm it tricky. Listen it close.

The part before the last chorus it a little bit harder. I don`t know. I play this and it 
sounds and it fits great. If you have another way to play it, good for you!

G|--------------------------------------------------------------|
D|--------------------------------------------------------------|
A|-77777777----------77777777-----------------------------------|
D|----------55555555----------55555555--------------------------|

D|--------------------------------------------------------------|
A|----------------------------22222222--------------------------|
D|-00000000-77777777-55555555-----------------------------------|

Last chorus:

G|--------------------------------------------------------------|
D|--------------------------------------------------------------|
A|-77777777----------77777777-----------------------------------|
D|----------55555555----------55555555--------------------------|
                                                                 >(x2)
G|--------------------------------------------------------------|
D|--------------------------------------------------------------|
A|----------------------------22222222--------------------------|
D|-00000000-77777777-55555555-----------------------------------|

After that:

G|--------------------------------------------------------------|
D|--------------------------------------------------------------|
A|----------------------------22222222--------------------------|
D|-00000000-77777777-55555555-----------------------------------|

G|--------------------------------------------------------------|
D|--------------------------------------------------------------|
A|----------------------------22202-----------------------------|
D|-00000000-77777777-55555555-----------------------------------|

That`s the song. In the beginning riff and the verse riff it`s all about the rhythm. 
Good luck and have fun!
