G---0--0-0-0-0-------------------------0------

that part is repeated 4 times, then play these chords (listen for rhythm):


B--5------10---15---
B--5------10---15---
G--5------10---15---
D--5------10---15---
G--5------10---15---
C--0----------------

return to beginning of intro and repeat entire thing.

CHORUS:

B-----------------------------------
B-----------------------------------
G----------------------------15-17-- repeat variation, include B strings
D----------------------------15-17--
G------17--17-17--17---15-17--------
C--0-0--0-0-0--0-0-0----------------


after the 2nd chorus, keith continues playing the chorus riff an octave lower
while thurston plays a solo that may or not be mapped out...

around 2:47 he starts with:

  
B--17---15---17---20---	     --10------------8-----------
B--17---15---17---20---	     --10------------8-----------
G--17---15---17---20---      --10------------8-----------
D--17---15---17---20--- x 3  --10--(slides)--8-----------
G--17---15---17---20---	     --10------------8-------0---
C----------------------      ------------------------0--- > chunky rhythmic sludge > back to intro.

the first two times the 17 15 17 20 progression is played, keith is still playing the chorus riff.
on the third time, he plays the same thing as thurston.
