Verse (0:22) - Quiet acoustic, most likely the keyboard+bass.
This probably isn't correct but it's close. It's so quiet in the song so it's hard to tab.
Just do stuff with the above intro for the electric effects.

Now repeat the verse part above. (1:25)
After that, repeat the chorus part above. (2:00)
(2:28) This part has no guitar, but here's the bassline.
It's hard to understand, so sorry if it sounds wrong.

After that he does some stuff too fast for me to tab.
Pick it back up at 3:42. Screeeaaam with your guitar!
Play on any one of the two octaves here.
