The intro is just a scale build-up with a few random notes at the top, although I'm not exactly sure how it goes.
The main song however, then begins like this:

Riff 1:(x8)
G------------------------                        
D------------------------            n.b. Only play one 5 on A                        
A-5-5-----55-3-0---------             the first time though.     
D----------------6-5-3-0-

Riff 2:
G------------------------------
D------------------------------
A-5-------55-------55-------55-
D------------------------------

Then play Riff 1 (x4) followed by Riff 2 in which there is a low slide down instead of the second 5 on A in the 
second couplet. Then:

Riff 3:(x2)
G-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
D-------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Then play Riff 1 (x6), Riff 2 and Riff 3 (x2), followed by a pause. Then:

Riff 4:

Riff 5:(x3)

D----------------x8--x5--x---x5--x----                 D------------------------8--x5--x---x5--x----

Then play Riff 4 (x3) ending with a 5 on A. Then pause for a while, then:

Riff 6:

A-5--55-------55---55-------555--55-------55---55-------55---55-------55---55-------555--55-------55---55-------55-

D------------------53-0--05-----------------------------------------

Then he plays lots of random jammy *** which i can't tab, it leads into something like this:

Riff 7:
G--------------------
D--------------------
A-0---5-3--/5-3---0~-
D---------------5----

This riff is played quite a few times before we reach the big finale: Riff 4, then Riff 5 (x4) but with this 
variation on the second of the four:

G----------------------------------------------
D---------12-12-10-----------------------------
A-555555-----------1210------------3-------444-
D-------------------------x8--x5--x---x5--x----

Then play Riff 4 (x3) with an extra 5 on A at the end, pause, then:

Riff 8:
G----------------------------
D----------------------------            Play this riff 5 times but on the fifth add
A-5--5h7p5-------------------                 six more mutes and a 5 on low D.
D---------8--8h10p85-555xxxx-

Riff 9:

And finally end with this:

G------------
D------------
A-5-5555-555-
D------------                                 

Song ends.
