In the intro the guitar plays some harmonics over the bass line. The same goes for the verses.

this is the final clue, from Mr. No Show
this is the crawling space, of never coming home
this is downtime, for Mr. No Show
it’s the people faced boy in the front row.
[Chorus]
I'll call this next part the chorus, although there's no lyrics, but it repeats 3x times within the song.
Here's a tab for the part, but play it in that order:
D F# G A G F#
D F# G A G F#
D F# G A G F#
D F# G F#
D F# G A G F#

this is our best
this is calms calm down
this is a case of one foot brawl
[Chorus2]
slightly different chorus. last chord switches to A instead of F#!
D F# G A G F#
D F# G A G F#
D F# G A G F#
D F# G A
[Bridge]
The 2nd chorus ends with an A chord, and I believe that's what is played during the whole bridge section.
You could, however, play the bass notes over these lines too, if you feel like it.
(I think those would be D, E, F#, G# repeatedly... played on the A string)
A
we’re going to war, a ....... war
A
for Netherland, for Askaban
A
for Deco.....?, for Rawhide
[Chorus3]
slightly different chorus again. This time there's no switches!
D F# G A G F#
D F# G A G F#
D F# G A G F#
D F# G A G F#
[Outro]
The outro has the same lyrics as the bridge, but it plays guitar chords over it. First it's just bass,
then the guitar enters: D F# B 4x
D F# B D F# B
we’re going to war, a ........ war
D F# B D F# B
for Netherland, for Askaban
D F# B D F# B
for Deco.....?, for Rawhide
and then there's one last riff, which is essentially what the bass is playing during this part.

NOTE: I've written down the lyrics myself. I'm sure there's some serious bollocks in there, but it's the best
I was able to come up with. Some of it isn't easy to understand as a non-native speaker. Saddly the lyrics are
nowhere to be found around the net.
I hope the tabs/chords are pretty accurate, it's the best I was able to come up with.
