After that Interlude, Guitar 1 drops out until the 2nd chorus.
When the 2nd chorus hits Riff-A is played 4 times by guitar one.
Guitar 2 plays Riff-B throughout the 2nd verse/chorus, but 
before the verse starts a slightly different version of Riff-A
is played 4 times, and the first note struck at the same time as
the last note of the Interlude on Guitar 2 (a C5 power chord).
It uses a sweeping wah effect which is created by steadily 
tapping the wah pedal as each note is struck. I'll use 2 symbols
UNDER the bar to display how the pedal is used:
+  Tap
_  Release

After the second verse/chorus are over the second Interlude comes
in. It as well uses a wah pedal and I will, again, uses the same
symbols below the bar as the riff right up there ^. During this riff,
Guitar 2 plays a variation of Riff-B.

Then comes the ("Hold your head up")
                      "Movin' on"
               ("Keep your head up")
                      "Movin on"...
..part. That uses a lot of feedback at a varied degree of
   pitches which seem to change quite frequently.
After he screams out "MOVIN ON!" comes the solo with some distortion
and a whiny ring to it-

.. that may seem somewhat hard to read, so just take a moment and look
    over while slowly playing each note. It shouldn't take too long too
    long to get the hang of.

Right after that, Guitar 1 once again cuts into Riff-A, but not quite 
as loudly this time.
During the third verse Guitar 2 plays a higher-pitched variation
of Riff-B, and breaks into Riff-B during the 3rd chorus.

3rd verse:

After the 3rd chorus is done, back to Interlude 2, blah, blah, blah...
bunch of feed back..."I'm gonna use you,
                              And abuse you.
                      I gotta know what's 
                              In-side you..."
..it ends with the whiny ring of the 7th fret at the G-string.
