Okay, here's the cool part. Just cut off your distortion and play this with a lot of vibrato.

Then just play the riff above a lot of times with a lot of distortion until you get to the verse.
I'm not really sure how this part goes, but I think it's something like this.

Then after you do that part about four times, play this four times and then go back to the first part of the verse. I'm not sure if it's right, but it's close to it.

Okay, the slow part goes like this. My way is kind of low so I think it's a few octaves higher than this.

When James is singing about his lifestyle determines his death style, just strum and palm mute the low E string.
And when he's saying tic tic tic tic toc, just play riff three except at the end palm mute the 12th fret of the low E string instead of the open string.
At the end it goes like this.
