There are several ways to play this riff, and this is the one I’ve found most effective

Main riff:
  V S  ^        V        ^    V ^ V
G-0—---0-(0)(0)-0-(0)(0)-0----0-0-0-|
D------0-h3-h5—-0-h3-h5----h5-5-5-5-|
A-----------------------------------|
E---3-------------------------------|

Main Riff Variant w/ fills (Add as needed, listen to the song)
  V S  ^        V        ^    V  ^  V
G-0—---0-(0)(0)-0-(0)(0)-0----10-8-10-|
D------0-h3-h5—-0-h3-h5----h5-10-8-10-|
A-----------------------------8—-6—8--|
E---3---------------------------------|

Overall good tab, but it sounds to me that there needs to be an open D played before hammering on the G near the end. Like so:


-0---0-0-0-|


-0h5-5-5-5-|
