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

  C                              Em
E|------0-------3-------------|------0-------0---------------------|

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

    C                             Em

G|--5--------------5-----------|--2---------------2-----------------|

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

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