There's quite a few parts of this song where there's no guitar - I've put the lyrics in these gaps.
 
There is a little keyboard(?) E major arpeggio which occasionally plays in these sections which you can
play on guitar to fill out the space (or just play palm muted E chords in time with the bass):
