Ok, a few things about this tab.
I have included a few bass line parts just to give some reference to possible jamming of the rhythm guitar could play. There are also time indications of the track to help guide you when each part begins.
That’s all. Hope it helps.
Key:
X - Mute String or struck string.
/ - Slide Up
- Slide down
> - Hold note, let it ring
INTRO/ VERSE (up & down strumming, listen for timing)

Seeing as though for the Intro and Verses it is a G chord with variations on the e and B strings a second guitarist (Craig or Ryan) could either just continuously strum a standard G chord while one guitar plays the above chord (top measure).
Here’s the G Chord possibility. Listen to timing and strumming.
