They play this part 4x on verse 1, then chorus, then 2x on verse 2 which then goes into 
similar riff on a different chord. I'll be working out this part next, so that will be 
next installment! Also I'll try to tab out some of the solo licks at the end where Joe goes nuts!

The main lick in the end part goes like this for the rhythm guitar:
 E-----------------------------------------------------------------------|
 B-----------------------------------------------------------------------|
 G-----------5--4---2---0------------------------------------------------|
 D--------------------------2--------------------------------------------|
 A------------------------------2----0-----------------------------------|
 E-----3----------------------------------3------------------------------|
                                              ^ This note is a G maj chord

Happy playing!
