(Guitar 1 plays the top notes, Guitar 2 plays the bottom notes):
E---------------------------|--------------------------|

(both guitars)
E-------------------|-----------|------------------|
B-------------------|-----------|------------------|
G---12--------7-----|--9--------|--12--------7-----|
D---12--------7-----|--9--------|--12--------7-----|
A---10--------5-----|--7--------|--10--------5-----|
E-------------------|-----------|------------------|

Verse riff (both guitars play 8 times):
E--------------------|----------------|
B--------------------|----------------|
G--------------------|----------------|
D---9--9--7h9-----9--|--12-----12--7--|
A---7--7--7-------7--|--10-----10--5--|
E--------------------|----------------|

Chorus riff (both guitars play twice):
E----------------------|------------------------|
B----------------------|------------------------|
G----------------------|------------------------|
D---9--9--7/9-----9----|--12-----12/14-----7----|
A---7--7--5/7-----7----|--10-----10/12-----5----|
E----------------------|------------------------|

E----------------------|----------------------|
B----------------------|----------------------|
G----------------------|----------------------|
D---7--7--5/7-----7----|-------------9--x--x--|
A---5--5--3/5-----5----|--2p0--------7--x--x--|
E----------------------|-------3~~~-----------|

This is the part right after the chorus (both guitars):
E------------------|----------------|
B------------------|----------------|
G------------------|----------------|
D---9--9-----9-----|--12--12--7-----|
A---7--7-----7-----|--10--10--5-----|
E------------------|----------------|

E----------------------------------|-----------------|
B----------------------------------|-----------------|
G----------------------------------|-----------------|
D---9/14-----9--9/14---------------|--9--9-----9-----|
A---7/12-----7--7/12--14p12\10-----|--7--7-----7-----|
E----------------------------------|-----------------|

E-----------------|---------------------|
B-----------------|---------------------|
G-----------------|--4p2p0-----0--2--0--|
D---12--12--7-----|---------2-----------|
A---10--10--5-----|---------------------|
E-----------------|---------------------|

Now repeat from where the first verse starts all the way up to the above
riff, then play this (both guitars):
E---------------------------|--------------------------|
B---------------------------|--------------------------|
G---------------------------|--------------------------|
D---2--2--2--2--2--2--2--2--|--2--2--2--2--2--2--2--2--|
A---------------------------|--------------------------|
E---------------------------|--------------------------|

(Guitar 1 plays top notes and Guitar 2 plays bottome notes):
E------------------------|
B------------------------|
G------7--5--4--2--0-----|
D---2--9--7--5--4--2--4--|
A---------------------5--|
E------------------------|

The slower part is kinda hard to make an accurate tab of. I'll just give
you the basic idea. Both guitars are playing arpeggios of chords C major
and then E minor, and after a while A minor. The progression is: C, Em,
C, Em, C, Em, C, Em, C, Am, Em, Em. They play that twice. These are the
chord formations:

    C         Em       Am
E---8---------7--------5-------|
B---8---------8--------5-------|
G---9---------9--------5-------|
D---10--------9--------7-------|
A---10--------7--------7-------|
E---8---------7--------5-------|

It gets faster. Both guitars play this (4 times):
E---------------------------|--------------------------|
B---------------------------|--------------------------|
G---------------------------|--------------------------|
D---9--9--9--9--9--9--9--9--|--9--9--9--9--9--7--------|
A---7--7--7--7--7--7--7--7--|--7--7--7--7--7--5--------|
E---------------------------|--------------------------|

Guitar 1 keeps playing that, while Guitar 2 plays the solo:
E-------12-12-----12-12-----12-|-12-----12-12-----12-|
B-------12-12-----12-12-----12-|-12-----12-12-15b----|
G---14b-------14b-------14b----|----14b--------------|
D------------------------------|---------------------|
A------------------------------|---------------------|
E------------------------------|---------------------|

E---15-12-15p12----12----------------|------------------|
B---------------15----15p12-15p12h15-|---------15h17p15-|
G------------------------------------|-14b--------------|
D------------------------------------|------------------|
A------------------------------------|------------------|
E------------------------------------|------------------|

E--------------|-----------------------------|-------------------|
B---17b-----15-|-17p15p14-15p14\12-----------|-------------------|
G--------------|-------------------14-12-14b-|-(14)-----12-14-12-|
D--------------|-----------------------------|-------------------|
A--------------|-----------------------------|-------------------|
E--------------|-----------------------------|-------------------|

E------------------------|
B------------------------|
G---11h12p11-12p11h12----|
D---------------------14-|
A------------------------|
E------------------------|

Now Guitar 2 plays the rhythm part, while Guitar 1 plays the solo:
E------------------------------------|
B-------12h15p12-----12h15p12-----12-|
G---14b----------14b----------14b----|
D------------------------------------|
A------------------------------------|
E------------------------------------|

E---------------------------------------|
B---15p12-----12h15p12-----12h15p12-----|
G---------14b----------14b----------14b-|
D---------------------------------------|
A---------------------------------------|
E---------------------------------------|

E---------------------------------------------------|
B---12h15p12----12h15p12----12h15p12----12h15p12----|
G------------14----------14----------14----------14-|
D---------------------------------------------------|
A---------------------------------------------------|
E---------------------------------------------------|

E---------------------------------------------------|
B---12h15p12----12h15p12----12h15p12----12h15p12-15-|
G------------14----------14----------14-------------|
D---------------------------------------------------|
A---------------------------------------------------|
E---------------------------------------------------|

E---------------------------------------------------|
B---20p17----17-20p17----17-20p17----17-20p17----17-|
G---------19----------19----------19----------19----|
D---------------------------------------------------|
A---------------------------------------------------|
E---------------------------------------------------|

E---------------------------------------------------|---------------|
B---20p17----17-20p17----17-20p17----17-20p17----17-|-22^-22^-20h22-|
G---------19----------19----------19----------19----|---------------|
D---------------------------------------------------|---------------|
A---------------------------------------------------|---------------|
E---------------------------------------------------|---------------|

E-------------------|
B---20p17----17-----|
G---------19----19b-|
D-------------------|
A-------------------|
E-------------------|

Guitar 1 play this (twice):
E------------|------------|
B------------|------------|
G---9--------|--12-----7--|
D---9--------|--12-----7--|
A---7--------|--10-----5--|
E------------|------------|

Guitar 2 plays this over top:
E-------------------|--------------------|
B--------8--7t-(8)--|--7-----8-----------|
G---7h9-------------|-----------9--------|
D-------------------|--------------------|
A-------------------|--------------------|
E-------------------|--------------------|

Now repeat from the second verse until the end of the second chorus,
then play this (both guitars):
E---------------------------|--------------------------|
B---------------------------|--------------------------|
G---------------------------|--------------------------|
D---2--2--2--2--2--2--2--2--|--2--2--2--2--2--2--2--2--|
A---------------------------|--------------------------|
E---------------------------|--------------------------|

Now play the intro riff again, but replace the last bar with this (as
usual, one guitar plays the top notes and the other plays the bottom):
E-----------------------|------------------|
B---10-----8------7-----|------------------|
G--------------------9--|--6-----------14--|
D---12-----10-----9--7--|--11--7---6---14--|
A---12-----10-----9--7--|--11--12--11--12--|
E-----------------------|------12--11------|
