This is the intro bass riff:
                                                                        
G------2-----------------|-----2--------4-----4-----|-------------------
D---0--------0-----------|--0--------4-----4-----4--|-------------------
A---------------3-----3--|--------------------------|-------------------
E------------------3-----|--------------------------|-------------------

Then the guitars play (play twice, but on the repeat, guitar 1's last 
bar is a bend on the 20th fret, not the 18th):

     guitar 1

/ E---------------------|------------|--------------------|-------------

\ E---------------------|------------|--------------------|-------------
                                                                        

/ E-------------|-------------------------------------------------------
| B---18^-------|-------------------------------------------------------
| G-------------|-------------------------------------------------------
| D-------------|-------------------------------------------------------
| A-------------|-------------------------------------------------------
| E-------------|-------------------------------------------------------
|                                                                       
| E-------------|-------------------------------------------------------
| B-------------|-------------------------------------------------------
| G---10--------|-------------------------------------------------------
| D---10--------|-------------------------------------------------------
| A---8---------|-------------------------------------------------------
\ E-------------|-------------------------------------------------------

Then the first verse starts. This is the verse riff (both guitars, play
twice):

E---------------------------|--------------------------|----------------
B---------------------------|--------------------------|----------------
G---------------------------|--------------------------|----------------
D---------------3-----------|--------3-----------------|----------------
A---5--5-----5--------5--5--|-----5-----5--5--0--3--4--|----------------
E---------------------------|--------------------------|----------------
 
E---------------------------|--------------------------|----------------
B---------------------------|--------------------------|----------------
G---------------------------|--------------------------|----------------
D---------------3-----------|--------3-----5--3--------|----------------
A---5--5-----5--------5--5--|-----5-----5--------5--0--|----------------
E---------------------------|--------------------------|----------------
 
E---------------------------|--------------------------|----------------
B---------------------------|--------------------------|----------------
G---------------------------|--------------------------|----------------
D---------------------------|--------------------------|----------------
A---3--3-----3--6-----3--3--|-----3--6--3--3--0--1--2--|----------------
E---------------------------|--------------------------|----------------
 
E---------------------------|--------------------------|----------------
B---------------------------|--------------------------|----------------
G---------------------------|--------------------------|----------------
D---------------------------|--------------------------|----------------
A---3--3-----3--6-----3--3--|-----3--6--3--3--0--4--0--|----------------
E---------------------------|--------------------------|----------------

Then there is a little interlude. This is guitar 1's part:

E------------------------|-----------------------|----------------------
B---6-----------------6--|--8-----------------8--|----------------------
G------------7-----------|-----------7-----------|----------------------
D------------------------|-----------------------|----------------------
A------------------------|-----------------------|----------------------
E------------------------|-----------------------|----------------------
 
E---5-----------------5--|--6--------5-----------|----------------------
B------------------------|--------------------8--|----------------------
G------------7-----------|-----------------------|----------------------
D------------------------|-----------------------|----------------------
A------------------------|-----------------------|----------------------
E------------------------|-----------------------|----------------------
 
E---6-----------------6--|--5-----------------5--|----------------------
B------------------------|-----------------------|----------------------
G------------7-----------|-----------7-----------|----------------------
D------------------------|-----------------------|----------------------
A------------------------|-----------------------|----------------------
E------------------------|-----------------------|----------------------
 
E------------------------|-----|----------------------------------------
B---8-----------------6--|--5--|----------------------------------------
G------------7-----------|-----|----------------------------------------
D------------------------|-----|----------------------------------------
A------------------------|-----|----------------------------------------
E------------------------|-----|----------------------------------------

This is guitar 2's part (play twice):

E------------------|-----------------|-----------------|----------------
B------------------|--5-----------5--|--6-----------6--|----------------
G---7-----------7--|--------7--------|--------7--------|----------------
D---------7--------|-----------------|-----------------|----------------
A------------------|-----------------|-----------------|----------------
E------------------|-----------------|-----------------|----------------

E------------------|----------------------------------------------------
B---8-----6-----5--|----------------------------------------------------
G------------------|----------------------------------------------------
D------------------|----------------------------------------------------
A------------------|----------------------------------------------------
E------------------|----------------------------------------------------

Then play the verse riff again. Play that harmonic interlude again, then
play this:
                                                                        
E---||---------------------|-----------------------|--------------------
B---||---------------------|-----------------------|--------------------
G---||*--------------------|-----------------------|--------------------
D---||*--------------------|-----------------------|--------------------
A---||---0--------3--0-----|--------3--------------|--------------------
E---||---------------------|--3--5-----------5-----|--------------------
 
                                               6x                       
E------------------------|---------------------||-----------|-----------
B------------------------|---------------------||-----------|-----------
G------------------------|--7-----7-----7--5--*||--9--------|-----------
D------------------------|--7-----7-----7--5--*||--9--------|-----------
A---------3--------------|--5-----5-----5--3---||--7--------|-----------
E---3--5-----------5-----|---------------------||-----------|-----------

Then go all the way back to the beginning and play the intro. Now play 
this (with a triplet feel):

                                           8x                           
E---||-------------------------------------||---------------------------
B---||-------------------------------------||---------------------------
G---||*-----------------------------------*||---------------------------
D---||*-----------4-----------------------*||---------------------------
A---||---5-----5--------5-----0--3-----4---||---------------------------
E---||-------------------------------------||---------------------------

Guitar 1 keeps playing that under the first solo (play 16 times), while 
the other plays the solo. Then Guitar 2 plays that (16 times) while 
guitar 1 plays a solo. See bottom of tab for solos. After the solos, 
both guitars play that again (8 times). Then they play this:

E---||--------------------------|-------------------------|-------------
B---||--------------------------|-------------------------|-------------
G---||*-------------------------|-------------------------|-------------
D---||*-7---x-x-x-x-7---x-x-x-x-|-5---x-x-x-x-5---x-x-x-x-|-------------

A---1---x-x-x-x-1---x-x-x-x-|-0---x-x-x-x-1---3----||-------------------
E---------------------------|----------------------||-------------------

Now play this:
