*Playing the B (4th fret) on the G string for that last chord is optional...I'm not sure 
they really play that or not.

Main Riff:

---------7-7-x-x-7-7-7-7-----7-7-7-7-----7-7-7-7~7----------------|

Repeat this during the verse, with an acoustic guitar playing the intro riff and the 
guitar playing the main riff (sometimes through a flanger).

-6---------------------------------9---9---9---9---9---9---9--------------4-4-|

play twice, then there's a guitar playing this note after the chorus:
--11~--|
-------|

...then the electric guitar plays the main riff with the acoustic playing the intro 
seven or eight times.
