The vast majority of this song has a lot of repetition, so I will simply
allocate the parts with the times, referring to them as *A*, *B*, etc.
The timings are all pretty simple to figure out, so I hope you don't mind.

(0:00 - 0:41)
These chords on repeat, for quite some time.

 *A* |---------|
     |---------|
     |---------|
     |--2---1--|
     |---------|
     |--2---2--|

(0:42 - 0:44)
I'm fairly sure there are two chords being utilized here, same rhythm.
       
 *B* |----------------|--14--14--14--14--14--14---|
     |----------------|--18b-18b-18b-18b-18b-18b--|
     |----------------|---------------------------|
     |--1-1--1-1-1-1--|---------------------------|
     |----------------|---------------------------|
     |--1-1--1-1-1-1--|---------------------------|

(0:45 - 0:59) *A*

(1:00 - 1:02) *B*

(1:03 - 1:17) *A*

(1:18 - 1:20) *B*

(1:21 - 1:34) *A*

(1:35 - 1:43) *B*, several cycles.

(1:44 - 2:00) *C*
Watch for the time change from 4/4 to 5/4.

|--------------------|

End this riff by muting the strings and strumming with the snare.
