-Intro-

The song opens with the snare and bass doing that super-simple-but-still-sick 
rhythm, and the bass matches it with an open low D

The Guitar comes in after two repeats with-

-Bridge-

They go back into the two guitar bridge part from earlier, and then the mini-solo plays over it

That part looks wierd tabbed out note for note, but that's actually tremolo picking right there

 E |------------18-17-15---------------------|

 G |15-17----------------------------14-15'--|
 D |-----------------------------------------|
 A |-----------------------------------------|
 D |-----------------------------------------|

The verse plays again, but there are some small variations, they're just open D 
plam muted power chords.

Then back into the chorus, same as last time, but at the end, another guitar does this.

 E |-------------------------------|
 B |-------------------------------|
 G |-------------------------------|
 D |3'-and-bring-it-up-with-a-bend-|
 A |-------------------------------|
 D |-------------------------------|

OOH BREAK IT DOWN (I love that scrowly thing)

 D |0-----3'--0---------0-----3'--0-----------------|
 A |0-----------3-0-3-0-0-----------3-0-3-0---------|
 D |0-------------------0-------------------6-5-4-3-|

That's played a few times, with this one little fill that I fail-bike at figuring 
out, and a whammy dip on one of the open D's, followed by a build up of simply 
open D power chords, with this lead thing near the end.

Then you play the intro riff, and go back into the chorus, then into the intro 
riff again, and end after that
