Note: the harmonic is a volume swell into the chorus.  On the repeat, continue playing 9
on the F string, then play the harmonized 9 on the A# with a volume swell or with a whammy bar.

Intro, Guitar 2, distortion, let ring

At :06, play a C5, as so:

C |-
G |-
D#|-
A#|2~
F |2~
C |0~

Chorus, Guitars 1 and 2, distortion

Note: the strumming is essentially in time with Sam's bass drum.
Down, down, down-up, up, down...

While the 9 on the G is ringing, Guitar 1 plays this at approximately 2:20:

C |----------------------------|
G |----------------------------|
D#|----------------------------|
A#|--7---7---6-7---9-----------|
F |--7---7---6-7---9-----------|
C |--5---5---4-5---7-----------|

Let the G5 ring with the ringing 9 on the G from Guitar 2.

Outro chorus, both guitars, distortion:
Strumming is again more or less in line with Sam's percussion
Down, down, down-up, up, down, down, down, down-up...

C |----------------|----------------|
G |----------------|----------------|
Eb|---5-------7----|---5-------7----|
Bb|---5---5---7----|---5---5---7----|
F |---3---5---5----|---3---5---5----|
C |-------3--------|-------3--------|

Repeat until final measure:

C |-----------------------------------------|
G |-----------------------------------------|
D#|-----------------------------------------|
A#|---7---9---2d----------------------------|
F |---7---9---2d----------------------------|
C |---5---7---0d----------------------------|

There you have it.  I admit that the strumming is likely a bit faulty,
but hopefully you can use it as a guide while listening to the song.
