E|--------------------------------------------| AND :the outro can also be played this way. There are other chords played during the chorus than those through out each verse but they are played with heavy distortion and I haven't been able to figure them out yet. Though I think that they follow a similar progression as the riffs during each chorus. Also, the bridges between each chorus, verse, and interlude are probably just the end to each chorus, but they are played separately, and played on an acoustic so I have written them out that way. They do however begin fairly immediately at the end of each chorus and lead right into what follows. What I have tabbed for each bridge may not be exactly right, but they are written out of an E pentatonic scale comprised of the following notes: G|--------------2-4----------| ,more than likely anything played out D|----------2-5--------------| of this scale is correct. Other than that everything is complete and correct. At least to the best of ability.
