This is (an attempt of) a very detailed tabbing of the song, while the
first transcription left some parts (particularly: the endings) up to one's
own interpretation/improvisation; also, some erroneous notes were changed.
(Of course, it will most probably not yet be _exactly_ the way it is played)

Play in this order (e.g. 'A' means: Main Riff + Ending A):

Intro ABAC, Verse DADBD EFGDD, Chorus 2x, Fill-in HI, Verse DADJK,
Chorus 2x, Interlude, Chorus 2x, end: hit chord on all open snares (DADADd)

(Of course you can, as James Bertelson said in the first transcription,
improvise the endings a bit, as long as pattern A is sounded sometimes;
but pattern F/J seems also quite important if you want to make it sound
exactly like the original)
