It opens with two acoustic guitars which I've tabbed for one:

 C majorC               E minorEm
E MajorE|------0-------3-------------|------0-------0---------------------|
BB|------1-------1-------------|------0-------0---------------------|
G+G|--0---0---0---0------0--0---|------0-------0---------------------|
D MajorD|--2-------2---2------2--2---|--2---2---2---2---------------------|
A augmentedA|--3-------3----------3--3---|--2-------2---2---------------------|
E MajorE|----------------------------|--0-------0-------------------------|

 A minorAm               FF
E MajorE|--0---0---------0--0--------|------1-------3---------------------|
BB|--1---1---1--0--1--0--------|------1-------1---------------------|
G+G|--2---2---2--2--2--2--------|--2---2---2---2---------------------|
D MajorD|--2---2---2--2--2--2--2--2--|--3---3---3---3---------------------|
A augmentedA|--0---0---0--0--0--0--0--0--|--3---3---3-------------------------|
E MajorE|----------------------------|--1---------------------------------|

Then the acoustic guitars are joined
by a snappy muted electric guitar with
a little reverb that goes:

  C majorC               E minorEm
E MajorE|--X--------------X-----------|--7--------------------------7------|
BB|--8--------------8-----------|--8--------------------------8------|
G+G|--9--------------9-----------|--9--------------------------9------|
D MajorD|-10-------------10-----------|--9--------------------------9------|
A augmentedA|-----------------------------|------------------------------------|
E MajorE|-----------------------------|------------------------------------|

  A minorAm               FF
E MajorE|--5--------------5-----------|--1---------------1-----------------|
BB|--5--------------5-----------|--1---------------1-----------------|
G+G|--5--------------5-----------|--2---------------2-----------------|
D MajorD|--7--------------7-----------|--3---------------3-----------------|
A augmentedA|-----------------------------|------------------------------------|
E MajorE|-----------------------------|------------------------------------|

And another guitar comes in with the
electric guitar with these fills:
  C majorC

G+G|-----------------------------|------------------------------------|
D MajorD|----------------------12/14--|------------------------------------|

During the chorus, the bottom E MajorE note of the above
is doubled by an overdriven guitar, which might actually be the bass.
