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

FILL
This is played before 2nd verse and is also the rhythm for the slide
guitar lead. Basically, we're back to the D, C, G progression... with a
twist:
(piano) *3

*3 NB: This bar has a distorted guitar playing the same chords.
Back to verse, with a more prominent overdriven guitar playing the
basically the same chords as the initial verse riff. Then to Riff Two
again . . . then the dreaded slide guitar.
SLIDE LEAD
If there is a note in brackets/parentheses after or before a slide, this
means don't pick the note, just slide to it (a legato slide). Make all
these slides as long and slow as possible (or use a slide, I suppose).

This is the general idea. There variations on each repeat.
So, I think all the components to play the song are here. Just put 'em
all in the right order.
The tune finishes on a D.
