Here's some fills that come later on (they're just for the second guitar).
For this part (and the solo), keep swelling the volume up and down. Pick the
string after you turn it down, and right before you turn it up again.
Remember to shake the hell out of each note as you hold it. In case of a
natural harmonic, use a behind the nut bend to achieve the desired effect.
The more you practice it, the better it will sound. :)

RIFF D
These are the chords I use for this part. It's not really how they play it,
but it's good enough. Try experimenting with it (don't strum all the strings
on each chord - I don't). Make up something for the second guitar, I really
didn't feel like figuring out the funky bass line.

And now finally, at the very end right after "this flight tonight", the
second guitar finishes off with
...tonight

And I use this to finish off guitar 1 since it's hard to perform a fade out,
it follows RIFF A at the end.

PM. . .
And of course, what tab would be complete without a legend.
LEGEND:
PM (Palm Mute):
Place the side of you're pick hand across the bridge to muffle the
strings. A palm muted string is indicated with a "." under it.
*#* Natural Harmonic:
Touch the string over the fret marker indicating the fret you're
on, without pressing the string down, and pick the string. It
works best if you take you're finger off as soon as you've picked
it. The easiest natural harmonics to find are on frets 7 and 12
of any string, however, they exist all over each string.
D & U:
Indicates which way you're pick hand is strumming, (down or up).
>>>>:
I used these things to indicate that you're going to hold a note
or a while. In the solo, each ">" indicates 1 beat, so you can
count 'em if you're lost. (They may not all be exactly right)
(#):
A note in brackets indicates that you should already be holding
that note, and shouldn't pick it again.
/:
Slide up.
:
Slide down.
Behind the nut bend:
You can press on the string as it goes from the nut (that thing
between the head of your guitar and the first fret) to the tuning
peg to simulate a bend - this works real well with open strings and
natural harmonics.
Look out the left
captain said
The lights down there
that's where we'll land.
I saw a falling star burn up
Above the Las Vagas sands.
It wasn't the one that you gave to me
That night down South
between the trailer;
Not the early one
That you can wish upon;
Not the Northern one
That guides in the sailors.
You got the touch so gentle and sweet
But you've got that look so critical
I can't talk to you baby
I get so weak.
Sometimes I think love
is just mythical
Up there's a heaven
Down there's a town
Blackness everywhere and
little lights shine
Blackness
blackness dragging me down
Come on light the candle
in this poor heart of
mine.
Oh starbright
starbright
You've got the loving that I like
all right
Turn this crazy bird around
I shouldn't have got on
this flight tonight.
I'm drinking sweet champagne
Got the headphones up high
Can't numb you out
Can't drum you out of my mind
They're playing "Goodbye baby
baby goodbye
Ooh
ooh
love is blind"
Up go the flaps
down go the wheels
I hope you got your
heat turned on baby
I hope they finally
fixed your automobile
I hope it's better
when we meet again.
Oh starbright
starbright
You've got the loving that I like
all right
Turn this crazy bird around
I shouldn't have got on
this flight tonight.
I shouldn't have got on
this flight tonight.
