song is extremely easy considering it is in dropped D and only uses the bottom three strings (except for the solo).  Just listen to the song and apply that to the tabs.  I have included all of the hidden notes and the solo.
Dropped D Tuning

Riff B x2
Many people miss some of the hidden notes in this riff but if you listen 
the song closely you can here them.

     ?Yeah?I?m a freak?of nature?


After you play Riff B twice play this and let it ring.

   ?If only I could be as cool as you??
Riff C x2
A lot of people think that this riff is the same as Riff A, but if you listen 
you can hear the difference.

Then you play Riff A twice followed by Riff B.  Then play this:

Solo (Riff E is played in the background but without Palm Muting)
The whole solo is 32nd notes, so you must pick out each note very quickly and keep playing it nonstop.  Listen to the song and you will figure it out very easy.  It helps to use a very light pick here.

Riff E x4 (No Palm Muting this time)
Riff A x2
And that?s it!  This is a very fun song to play so experiment and find new ways to make it sound.  Have fun and keep playing!
