That should do it, just listen to the song a few times to really know where to come in.
It's not too difficult but getting the timing down is more important that the actual
at first.
Anyways, enjoy and have a blast!

Some corrections are necessary: - the main riff starts with 3h5, but throughout the song, not only in the Intro - main riff should be on the A string: A -3h5-5-5-5---5-3---5-0---0 then continue on the low D string as tabbed - order of play: Verse has the verse riff, than the main riff; when repeated, there is a second main riff before the Chorus - Chorus: the 5-3 parts at the beginning of the riff should be played on the low D string; Chorus should be like this: G|--------------------------------| D|--------------------5-3---------| A|------------------------5-3-0---| D|-5p3-5p3-5p3-0-5---3------------| - order of play: after the first chorus, you say it's Verse (Main Riff x4), then Bridge. In fact, it's 2x Main Riff, then the "Verse Riff", then Chorus, THEN Main Riff x4. The Bridge itself should be the riff you tabbed after the drum solo (x4), then the two bars with the holding notes at the end. - drum solo 8 bars, that's OK. After the drum solo, there's 16x this riff, not 20x. - next Chorus, not main riff (Intro), but chorus riff (starting on the low D string)
