Chorus fill 1 (played on an electric):
|--------|

|7-9---9-|

Thats the main parts.
Then he starts to do power chords in the next chorus:

..and the solo (i've not inserted the exact number of picks, but its not hard to
hear what Tim does):

I'm not sure what he does at this point, but it ends like this:

In the following chorus, keep playing the last bar of the solo until you can play chorus fill 1...

Notice that the chord is fully strum on all the off-beats,
"1 and", "2 and", "3 and", "4 and". That gives the song its
rhythmic feel, and that's really important for the song.

********************************************************************************
Note that the acoustic guitar has a bit of a problem with the key.
It has capo on the 5th fret, so when it plays an Am, it's actually a Dm,
the Em/G is actually an Am/C and so on. That is one of the troubles when
playing with capo, but that's life.
The electric guitars don't play with capo, so their chords are the actual
chords!
