Intro: I think there may be some string that he leaves open, but here is what I play:

Part 1-
  Percussive Octaves     D5
|-xxxx-xxxx-xxxx-xxxx-|------------|
|-xxxx-xxxx-xxxx-xxxx-|--3---------|
|-4444-6666-7777-9999-|--2---------|  Two times
|-xxxx-xxxx-xxxx-xxxx-|--0---------|

|-xxxx-xxxx-xxxx-xxxx-|------------|

Part 2-
Percussive Octaves again, only you go: B, C#, D, E, F#, G, F#, E
Do that twice.

Verse: You can play a Bm over the single note stuff

     1/4                 1/4

~For the A/C#, just play  x4765x~

Chorus: Just go up a G Lydian scale: G  A  B  A/C#    x2


Back to the Intro riff part 2.

Verse


Pre Chorus 2: For this you can just randomly pick these chords. I'm not sure what 
he picks it in, but I don't think it really matters too much.

        G (320003@1)A (x02220@1)Bm (x24432@1)A/C# (042220@1)x4


Solo: He has delay set so that each repeat sounds as if he is playing a whole step 
or lower than he really is... if that makes sense :)

Play the Chorus a few times, then it ends with

          G (320003@1)     DI (xx0232@1)have no fear of drowning
         A/C# (042220@1)           BmIt's (x24432@1)the breathing that's taking all this work


Enjoy!
