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

Intro riff: Main riff: (Riff A)
G-|--------5-|-------5--8--5---5---5---------5--8--5---5---5---5-----------| D-|--0h5h7---|-0h5h7---------7---5-----0h5h7---------7---7---5-------------| A-|----------|-------------------------------------------------------------| E-|----------|-------------------------------------------------------------|
1. Play the Intro riff 1x and then the Riff A 6x and then at the end of the
sixth time you switch to Riff B.
Riff B (one octave low)
G-|------------------------------------------------------------------------| D-|------------------------------------------------------------------------| A-|------3-------3--6--3---3---3-------3--6--3---3---3---3-----------------| E-|--3h5-----3h5---------5---3-----3h5---------5---5---3-------------------| G-|------------------------------------------------------------------------| D-|------------------------------------------------------------------------| A-|------3--6--3---3---3-------3--6----------------------------------------| E-|--3h5---------5---3-----3h5-------3--3----------------------------------|
2. After that one time you switch back to the Intro riff 1x, Riff A 2x, then
at the end of Riff A you switch to Riff B 2x, then the Intro riff followed
by this altered Riff A:
G-|--------5--8--5---5---5---------5--8--5---10------------5---------------| D-|--0h5h7---------7---5-----0h5h7---------------7-7-7--5------------------| A-|------------------------------------------------------------------------| E-|------------------------------------------------------------------------| G-|--------5--8--5---5---5---------5/8\5-5-5-5-5-5-5-----------------------| D-|--0h5h7---------7---5-----0h5h7-----------------------------------------| A-|------------------------------------------------------------------------| E-|------------------------------------------------------------------------|
3. Intro riff 1x and Riff A 1x, then this second alternation of Riff A:
G-|--------5--8--5---5---5---------5--8--5----------5----------------------| D-|--0h5h7---------7---5-----0h5h7---------7--0h5h7------------------------| A-|------------------------------------------------------------------------| E-|------------------------------------------------------------------------|
4. The last 0h5h7 is the Intro riff just in the end, and then Riff A 2x.
Riff B is after that 2x, and should be blended in when you end that last
thing (Nr. 3)
5. Middle:
A couple of E-3 which then slides into E-15 and at the last notes he bends
it or hammers on a near note (16) or something, with a small backslide at
the end. Just fiddle around with it.
6. Intro riff 1x, Riff A 2x, with a slide at the end of the last time.
7. Intro riff 1x, Riff A 2x, Intro riff 1x, Riff A 2x, Riff B 2x
8. Intro riff 1x and then this alternation of Riff A:
/ * \
G-|--------5--8--5---5---5---------5-----22-22-22-\------------------------| D-|--0h5h7---------7---5-----0h5h7-----------------------------------------| A-|------------------------------------------------------------------------| E-|------------------------------------------------------------------------|
* = triplets somewhere down there at 22 or something, with a slide down.
9. Intro riff 1x and once again an alternation of Riff A:
G-|--------5--8--5---5---5---------5---------------------------------------| D-|--0h5h7---------7---5-----0h5h7----5--6---------------------------------| A-|------------------------------------------------------------------------| E-|------------------------------------------------------------------------|
10. Intro riff 1x, Riff A 2x, Riff B 2x, and then this ending:
G-|------------------------------------------------------------------------| D-|------------------------------------------------------------------------| A-|--15---15---15---15---15---15---15---15---15---15---15---15---6---3-----| E-|------------------------------------------------------------------------|
not sure if it's 6-3, but it's close enough.
