after that u repeat it but with out the palm mutes
 
 
then it goes in the main beat of the whole song which is
 
riff 1                     Riff 2
e------------------       e---------------------|
B-22222--2222------       B-22222-2222----------|

on the third time of riff 2 ray starts singing and then it will switch to
 
riff 3
 
e-22222-2222---------------|      Then u go back to riff 2 you'll hear it

G-22222-2222-----0-2-------| x1
D-00000-0000-0-2-----------|

E--------------------------|
 
then the chorus comes in and it's a little different but pretty much same stuff
 
you'll play A chord but not the riff and then when u hear the switch u play riff
3 twice then u play A chord and then hit a single D
so it goes
 
A/A/A/A   A/A/A/D ,riff 3 X2 ,A/A/A/A   A/A/A/D ,then riff 3 X1
 
Then the last time he does a little riff

then repeat what ever needed until the next part I play on the high e string
 
e-14-15-14-12-14s12-12-12-12-10-
 
im not sure about hammer ons or pull offs if there is any but if so please speak up and correct me
 
e-9-10-9-7-9s7-7-7-7-5
 
i'm not sure about those but seems close.
 
The last part of the song that changes is the bridge or what ever u call it
 
it goes
 
A, D, F, C and u play  A D F by hitting it on the bar chord then pm it....then
C is play with the strumming pattern of the riffs above. Then all repeats
 
 
the ending changes a little to he goes from E ,to G then f#,E, D
