here's the riff he plays, but the root notes differ a little bit from the chords 
so watch out if you two guitarists playing both at the same time.

e|-----------------------------------|
B|--7-7-7----------------------------|
G|--------6-6-6-6-7-7-7-7------------|
D|------------------------5-4-5-4-0--|
A|--5-5-5----------------------------|
E|--------3-3-3-3-7-7-7-7-5-5-5-5-5--|

here's the chords, if you choose to play them during the verse instead of that riff.
