I added this just in case anyone has a second guitarist with them or even a loop pedal
I'd say this would make it sound great together. This would simply layer over the main
being played in the song. I wrote it as harmonics to make it stand out from the other part.
(I tried to add it as regular notes on top of what is above but the notes really need to
be an octave higher to be properly distinguished, and to avoid throwing off the flow of
song)

And, for the last part, it cannot be played properly because the notes are too high and
off the fretboard. It wouldn't be very convenient to try moving some harmonics up to
them either so I'll just post a version that has the melody an octave lower.

(Just a note that here, the bass notes should alternate, like in the previous section,
an open note followed by the 7th fret, both on the 6th string, but it's not really
I tried tuning the 5th string down to a G to make up for it, but that made other parts
the song awkward... We'll just have to keep playing the open note, it doesn't sound too
though...)

version 2
This song is usually tabbed in 'F', but I'm tabbing it in 'G' because it sounds better,
also gives you an opportunity to throw in some of the great fills that make this song so amazing.
