Here's the riff played before the first verse

Palm mute all f#'s on six string (i recommend rocking your first finger back and forth
using the third finger to barre the two notes at the fourth fret)

Ok, do that again for the verse up to "A" and then again up to "A" with the
following variation on the last two bars

"...problem."

He continues using the riff throughout the verse with some variations that you should be
to fiqure out where they go if you hear the song

"Kickin' back.."

---2--2--2--2--2--2--2--2--2--2--------2-----------2--2--2--2--2--2-*2-|


now, for verse two and the chorus, you already know, just repeat the stuff

Now for the over the top tapping before the solo, which i dont know

------------------------------------|
-14------14--------14------14-------|
-----12-------12-------12------12---|
---14------14--------14------14-----|
-------12--------12------12-------12|
------------------------------------|

play the 14's with right hand and 12's with left over the top of the neck
with the left hand pinky lying across and muting all the strings to cut out noise.

Then he changes it with the same idea

(play three times)

--------------------17-------------|
-21--17--21--17--21----19--21--17--|
-------19------19----------------19|
---21------21------21--------21----|
-----------------------------------|
-----------------------------------|

then solo...

after the solo, play the intro again with some difference that's not worth
tabbing, so you should be able to figure out the order of the stuff. theres one more
and there is some more variation in the last chorus that you could fiqure out easily, he
plays F#'s instead of doing the D chord thing. he also plays the tapped riff again at 
end. you can improvise, so listen to the song and play along. its a lot easier to memorize
way and helps with timing.
