Intro-Verse-Chorus-Bridge-Verse-Chorus-outro
There's a bit of a drum intro at the start with the guitar doing an E
power chord which fades in and after 16 bars (I think) it starts up.

P.M.
Repeat this chord for sixteen bars (palm muted) after 8 bars, guitar 2
comes in with the same thing.
Then it goes:

Verse
The first half of the verse is just the bass playing

After 6 repeats of that, the guitar comes in the same as before:

Same as Bridge.
Guitar 2
Intro
Comes in after 8 bars with same chord as guitar 1
Same as guitar one throughout
Verse
Just before the singing starts, the low e string is plucked once,
then, before guitar 1 comes in halfway through the verse, guitar two
plays quarter notes on an open b string about 6 times (it fades in and
out, so I'm unsure of how many repeats it does.
Through the chorus, guitar 2 basically plays the same thing:
E-------
B--3----
G-----0-
