The last 2 notes played at the same time are not correct, I have no idea what they are.
you watch the 1988 live version in Austin you will hear it.

I don't know the rest, it's basically a shred fest.

Then back to the riff...

It's my best attempt, and I havn't seen any other tabs out there, so I hope this is helpful.
