Lead guitar plays this, bass enters after 4 bars, after 12 bars it changes - I think the 
8th note chords should really be 'guitar 2', but its quite straight forward. 
 
The main progression is F# G# E F#, and after the intro the guitars and bass pretty much 
just play that. As for after that, I've not got that far yet - something like the intro comes 
back in, there's various other parts to work out.

After 12 bars, the second guitar plays the same chords as the first, but as stabs on the 
2nd and 4th beats of each bar e.g. 
 
Beat	   1	 2     3     4 
G1	   *  *  *  *  *  *  *  * 
G2	         *	     *  
	E|------------------------| 
	B|------------------------| 
	G|------------------------| 
	D|-2--2--2--2--2--2--2--2-| 
	A|-2--2--2--2--2--2--2--2-| 
	E|-0--0--0--0--0--0--0--0-| 
 
and so on. 
 
The bass plays this from bar 5: 
 
G|------------|------------|------------|------------| 
D|------------|------------|------------|------------| 
A|------------|-7--7--7--7-|-9--9--9--9-|------------| 
E|-4--4--4--4-|------------|------------|-2--2--2--2-| 
 
Listen to the song for timings - most of the lead part is 8th notes, its easy to figure out. 
 
Have fun!
