         INTRO
-----------------------

e|---------------------|
B|---------------------|
G|------9----------9---|
D|---------------------|
A|-7--7---7---7--7---7-|
E|---------------------| 8x

As it goes, a second guitar comes in doing this (but I may be wrong, it's quite hard to hear):
e|------------------|
B|------------------|
G|------------------|
D|-9p7h9p79p7h9p7h9-|
A|------------------|
E|------------------|

Now, here's what you came here for.
e|-------------------------------------|
B|-------------------------------------|
G|-9p7---------------------------------|
D|-----9p7h9p7~------------------------|
A|--------------7----7/9--7------------|
E|----------------10---------0--0-0--0-| 4x - On the fourth, you play the palm muted E only three times, then:

G|----------------------------7h9p7---7~---999999999999---------|

E|-2-3---75---------------------------2-3-----------5--7-7-7-7-7-7-7-7-7-7-7-7-|
Then play that awesome intro riff until the 2nd verse.

Before the bridge starts, the lead goes:
e|-10b12-10~-----------------------------------10--12-12-12-12-12-|
B|------------10b12-10--8---------8~--10b12-10--------------------|

        BRIDGE
---------------------

e|--------------------------------------------------------------------------|
B|--------------------------------------------------------------------------|
G|--------------------------------------------------------------------------|
D|-9--9-9-9--9--9-9-9--9--9-9-9--9--9-9-9--9--9-9-9--9--9-9-9--12--12--7--7-|
A|-7--7-7-7--7--7-7-7--7--7-7-7--7--7-7-7--7--7-7-7--7--7-7-7--10--9---5--4-|
E|--------------------------------------------------------------------------|

----------------------
   BRIDGE PT 2/SOLO
----------------------
The lead just plays the solo an octave higher.
e|-------------------------------------------------------------------|
B|-------------------------------------------------------------------|
G|-------------------------------------------------------------------|
D|-------------------------------------------------5b----------------|
A|-5~-----5/7~----9-7-9--------5h7p5---5~--7-7-5-7----7-5-7-9-7-5-7~-|
E|-3~--0--3/5~--0-7-5-7--0-5h7-------7-------------------------------| 4x 
                                                    (add an F5 chord before the first F#5)

On the third repeat, the lead guitar does:
e|-------------15---------------------------|
B|-17-17-15-17-----17-15-17-17b19-17-15-17~-|
G|------------------------------------------|
D|------------------------------------------|
A|------------------------------------------|
E|------------------------------------------|

---------------------
        OUTRO
---------------------

Outro is that lead lick, with extremely simple variations on both lead and rhythm guitar.
I think it's in the F#/Eb major scale, but please correct me if I'm wrong.
