I just decided to tab this. Couldn't find it and I thought I'd do you guys a favour. 
Well, here you go. When the tab has this ->| that shows one full 4/4 measure. Sorry if 
they're a little uneven.

|-h-|= hammer-on
|-p-|= pull-off
|-/-|= slide up
|-\-|= slide down
|-b-|= bend string
|-br-|= bend, then bend down to original note
|-*-|= palm-muted (under note)
|-~-|= hold note untill the next
Intro:
I like to play along with the bass till the guitar kicks in.

B|-----------|--------------|
G|-----------|-9-9--7--5----|  x4
D|------7-7--|--------------|
A|-----------|--------------|
E|-5--5-----5|------------3-|

Now the fun part.

Verse: There's a lot of palm-muting on the A string. (Listen for timing. Especially when 
you play the non-muted parts.)

Chorus: You could either play the bass line again, or just palm mute the A string. That 
is, untill you hit, "That's me..." Here's the " That's me..." part. (Played along with 
Dan's singing. Except for last part. It starts on "Devil..." not "The".)
