I would say the picking requires you to play barre chords, since you need to get
as high as possible with the first string (the thinnest):
Verse picking:
|-------5--------3------------------------|
|----------6--------5-----5---------------|
|-------------7--------5------------------|
|-----------------------------------------|
|----5------------------------------------|
|-----------------------------------------|
|-------5--------3----------3--5--6--3--5-|
|----------6--------5-----5---------------|
|-------------7--------5------------------|
|-----------------------------------------|
|-----------------------------------------|
|-----------------------------------------|
|-------5--------3------------------------|
|----------6--------5-----5---------------|
|-------------7--------5------------------|
|-----------------------------------------|
|----5------------------------------------|
|-----------------------------------------|
|--5--------3-----------------------------|
|-----6--------5-----5--------------------|
|--------7--------5-----------------------|
|------------------------------3--------2-|
|---------------------------3--------2----|
|------------------------1--------0-------|
As far as I know there's a different picking for the bridge involving the fourth
string aswell, but I simply don't know how to write it, sorry!
Clean guitar during the verses, I use a distorted soundeffect when playing the
chorus, sounds better than an overdrive.

I'm pretty sure it's correct, you could ofcourse switch the powerchords in the
verse out for some "full" chords, but I prefer the power chords.
