The last chorus is a bit different from the first, one guitar plays the same riff as in the first
chorus, guitar 2 plays some chords i won't find out.
The 2nd time guitar 1 plays Riff 1b (!) and guitar 2 Riff 3 (the one after the 1st chorus).
The song ends with riff 1.

I think they use a capo on 2th fret for this song, but I transcribed it so u don't need a capo..
Riff 1 is much easier to play with a capo and in some riffs you can add one open string to make
it sound more "full" (would be fret 2 without capo)
Anyway I think that way is good enough..
