This is tablature — fret positions rather than chord names. Wide lines scroll sideways on their own, so the page never does.

(Tune down 2.5 steps to B)

Thanks to John and Mike for their corrections.

Intro and verse (really P.M.)

B |-------------------|  The last time the final two notes are played as

F#|-------------------| F#5 G5 (24xxxx, 35xxxx) (before the chorus, etc.)

D |-------------------|
A |-------------------|  The chords under the riff are E5    A#5 G5
E |---10-9-7-6-7-9-10-|  (02xxxx, 68xxxx, 35xxxx).    (w__w  w   w)
B |-0-----------------|

(John McCarron suggests 6|----0-3-2-1-0-1-2-3 for this bit, although

I disagree personally. This riff is probably played as power chords).

Chorus:

B |------------------|----|-----------------------------|
F#|------------------|----|-----------------------------|
D |------------------|----|-----------------------------|
A |-----9------------|-x3-|----------9------------------|
E |---7------10------|----|--7---9---6------------------|
B |-0------8-----8-7-|----|--5---7----------------------|

(these first three notes

are played almost as a rake)

Interlude (let ring):

(The final Bm11 chord is definitely wrong... also, a fingering

like x3x030 might be easier for the Cadd2 arpeggio bit)

B |-------------------|-------|-----------------|-------|
F#|----------8--------|-------|---------5-------|-------|
D |-----11-----11-----|-------|-----7-----7-----|-------|
A |---9----9------9---|-------|---5---5-----5---|-------|
E |-7---------------7-|-------|-3-------------3-|-------|
B |-------------------|-------|-----------------|-------|
B |-----------------|-------|---------0-------|---------0-------|
F#|---------1-------|-------|-----------3-----|-----------3-----|
D |-----4-----4-----|-------|-----2-------2---|-----2-------2---|
A |---2---2-----2---|-------|---4---4-------0-|---4---4-------4-|
E |-0-------------0-|-------|-2---------------|-2---------------|
B |-----------------|-------|-----------------|-----------------|
