the third verse is still something of a mystery to me, however it starts off

with just the intro riff played with distortion, you can reuse one of two

verse

which will work fine, however on the last bar it uses a lot of right hand

tapping before breaking into the chorus again. Mess about and you should get

something that sounds roughly the same.
