This is tablature — fret positions rather than chord names. Wide lines scroll sideways on their own, so the page never does.
Intro
Play this twice a with clean tone:
D|----------------|---------------|---------------| A|----------------|---------------|---------------| F|----------------|---------------|---------------| C|----------------|---------------|---------------| G|----------------|---------------|---------------| C|-0-0-3-5-0------|-0-3-5-0-------|-0-3-5-0-3-5---|

Basically the intro only heavily distorted:
D|----------------|---------------|---------------| A|----------------|---------------|---------------| F|----------------|---------------|---------------| C|----------------|---------------|---------------| G|----------------|---------------|---------------| C|-0-0-3-5-0------|-0-3-5-0-------|-0-3-5-0-3-5---| D|----------------|---------------|---------------| A|----------------|---------------|---------------| F|----------------|---------------|---------------| C|----------------|---------------|---------------| G|----------------|---------------|---------------| C|-0-0-0-3-5-0----|-0-3-5-0-------|-0-3-5-0-------| D|----------------|---------------|---------------| A|----------------|---------------|---------------| F|----------------|---------------|---------------| C|----------------|---------------|---------------| G|-3-3-3-5-0------|-3-3-3-5-0-----|-3-3-3-5-0-----| C|-3-3-3-5-0------|-3-3-3-5-0-----|-3-3-3-5-0-----|
James plays this with some effect:

When James starts singing "We the people" you play this:
D|----------------|---------------| A|----------------|---------------| F|----------------|---------------| C|----------------|---------------| G|----------------|---------------| C|-3-5-0-0-3-5-0--|-3-5-0-0-3-5-0-|
After James says "Are we the people?" play this mixed with the riff above:
D|----------------|---------------|---------------|----------------| A|----------------|---------------|---------------|----------------| F|----------------|---------------|---------------|----------------| C|----------------|---------------|---------------|----------------| G|----------------|---------------|---------------|----------------|
C|-3-5-0-3-5-0----|Above riff here|-3-5-0-3-5-0---| Above riff here|
Then:
D|----------------|---------------| A|----------------|---------------| F|----------------|---------------| C|----------------|---------------| x2 G|----------------|---1-1-2-2-----| C|-0---0---0---0--|-0-1-1-2-2-----| D|----------------|---------------|---------------| A|----------------|---------------|---------------| F|----------------|---------------|---------------|
C|----------------|---------------|---------------| Then approx. 4-5 times
G|----------------|---------------|---------------| C|-0-0-3-5-0------|-0-3-5-0-------|-0-3-5-0-3-5---|
Then play this twice:
D|----------------|---------------|---------------| A|----------------|---------------|---------------| F|----------------|---------------|---------------| C|----------------|---------------|---------------| G|----------------|---------------|---------------| C|-0-0-3-5-0------|-0-3-5-0-------|-0-3-5-0-3-5---| D|----------------|---------------|---------------| A|----------------|---------------|---------------| F|----------------|---------------|---------------| C|----------------|---------------|---------------| G|----------------|---------------|---------------| C|-0-0-0-3-5-0----|-0-3-5-0-------|-0-3-5-0-------|

6:11 mark (about then)
D|---------------------------------------------------------------------------| A|---------------------------------------------------------------------------| F|---------------------------------------------------------------------------|
C|---------------------------------------------------------------------------| Do this six times
G|--------3-------1---------------3------------------------------------------| C|0-0-0-0-3-0-0-0-1-------0-0-0-0-3-0-0-0-0-0-0-0-0-0------------------------|

6:39 mark
D|---------------------------------------------------------------------------| A|---------------------------------------------------------------------------| F|---------------------------------------------------------------------------|
C|---------------------------------------------------------------------------| Play this only once
G|---3-3---3-3----3-3---3-3----3-3---3-3----3-3---3-3-5----------------------| C|-0-3-3-0-3-3--0-3-3-0-3-3--0-3-3-0-3-3--0-3-3-0-3-3-5----------------------|
Play this when James is singing the stuff like
"This is the cloud that swallows trust"
D|----------------| A|----------------| F|----------------| C|----------------| G|----------------| C|-3-5-5-3-5-5----|
Ominous I'm in us part
D|---------------------------------------------------------------------------| A|---------------------------------------------------------------------------| F|---------------------------------------------------------------------------|
C|---------------------------------------------------------------------------| Then go back to the
G|---------------------------------------------------------------------------| previous section C|-0-0-0-0-0-0-0-0-0-0-0-0-0-0-0-0-0-----------------------------------------|
This is the ending riff that I think is hilarious:
D|-12h17-12h17----|-12-12-12h17----|-12h17-12------| A|-12h17-12h17----|-12-12-12h17----|-12h17-12------| F|----------------|----------------|---------------| x2 C|----------------|----------------|---------------| G|----------------|----------------|---------------| C|----------------|----------------|---------------|
That's it, listen to the song to figure out the whole placement,
what a way to end such a heavy song, eh?
