that's about all the riffs that are important.  There are various guitar overdubs that i didn't bother figuring out because they are necessary to play the song (that and i didn't figure all of them out!!).  just remember that almost before every section of the song they break it up w/ falling back on a F# (before verses, and bridge...)

key:
! (trill pick)- alternate picking very fast
^ - bend the note up and down accordingly
 & / - slide up and down the fret to the note
* (harmonic)- lightly fret the note w/o pressing down on the neck
~- let it sustain through to the next time you play it
h- hammer on
