The youtube is in C, which makes it easier .

Here's the opening riff:

(C/E)            (Fsus2)         (Gadd4)
|---------------|---------------|---------------|------0--------|
|--------1------|------3---3----|----0---------0|----------0----|
|----0----------|--0-----5------|--------5------|--5-----5------|
|2-------------3|------------3/5|5--------------|------------5\2|
|---------------|---------------|---------------|---------------|
|---------------|---------------|---------------|---------------|
 1 . 2 . 3 . 4 . 1 . 2 . 3 . 4 . 1 . 2 . 3 . 4 . 1 . 2 . 3 . 4 .

And here's the first lead melody phrase:

|15----------17---------|---------------15------|--------------
|-----------------------|17----------15----17-15|---------------
|-----------------------|-----------------------|------------------
|-----------------------|-----------------------|---------------------
|-----------------------|-----------------------|-------------------
|-----------------------|-----------------------|---------------------
 1  .  2  .  3  .  4  .  1  .  2  .  3  .  4  .  1  .  2  .  3  .  4  .

The 2nd phrase is the same, but lacks the final note, and adds a couple more 15-17s on 2nd string later.

Lead riff under the vocal:

|-----------------------|-----------------------|--------------------|--------
|-----------------------|-----------------------|--------------------|--------
|12-12-12---------------|-----------------------|12-12-12------------|--------
|---------14-14-14-14-14|12-12-12-14-14-14-14-14|---------14-14-12---|--------
|-----------------------|-----------------------|------------------15|------
|-----------------------|-----------------------|--------------------|--------
 1  .  2  .  3  .  4  .  1  .  2  .  3  .  4  .  1  .  2  .  3  .  4  .  
.
|-----------------------|
|-----------------------|
|-----------------------|
|---------14----------14|
|14-14-15-------14-15---|
|-----------------------|
 1  .  2  .  3  .  4  .

2nd time through it's a little different at the end - but I'll leave that to you!

The whole thing is pretty easy to get if you use a slowdowner/looper - plenty available, but I use Transcribe:
