Rinse, lather, repeat."


Here's my interpretation, with the fingering I use. (Only a wee change.)


Firstly, there's the intro/interlude part,

G|---------------------------|
D|---------------------------| repeated twice on each occasion,
A|-----5-7--------7-5--------|
E|--------------------7-0----|


and the main riff.

G|---------------------------------------------------------------------|
D|------------------------------2-----------------4---5-4--------------|
A|------------------------2-4-5---0-------------5---5---------0-2-0----|
E|--0--0-(x)0---0-0-2-3-5------------5--5---5-5-----------5---------3--|

The bracketed ghost note is only played on the first time through.
