Guitar 2 plays the same thing with some added notes on the low strings between chord changes.

Verse: Guitars 1 & 2, repeat the intro.

Main Riff: Guitars 1 & 2 keeping repeating the intro.
           Guitar 3's part goes like this:
                                                  (1st Repeat)
e|-------------|----------------|----|-----------|----------------|
B|-----14^12---|----------------|----|-----------|------14^12-----|
G|-----------13^16~~~16s13------|----|-----------|------------13--|s
D|-------------|-----------14s17~~~~~~~~~~~14--14s11~~~-----------|
A|-------------|----------------|----|-----------|----------------|
E|-------------|----------------|----|-----------|----------------|

                                                  (Verse)
e|-------------|----------------|----|-----------|--------------|
B|-----14^12---|----------------|----|-----------|--------------|
G|-----------13^16~~~16s13------|----|-----------|--------------|
D|-------------|-----------14s14~~~~~~16-------16s11~~~~~~~~~~~~|
A|-------------|----------------|----|-----------|--------------|
E|-------------|----------------|----|-----------|--------------|

Verse 2: Guitars 1 & 2, same stuff over and over again :)
         Guitar 3 sits pretty for 8 bars (2 Verse Repetitions), then:

G|-6-6-6-6-6-6-6-6-|-6-6-6-6-6-6-6-6-|-6-6-6-6-6-6-6-6|-6-6-6-6-8-9-8-6-|
  (Repeat once)

Then the chorus, Guitars 1 & 2 finally get to play something different, well actually, 
just playing chords again, but these are different. Just play chords as shown (look
to chord chart for the chords not shown in the intro) with same rhythm as Guitar 3;
whose part is shown here for the...

Chorus:

   Amaj7                                         E6                 F#add9
e|-16--16--16-16-16-16~~~~16-16-16-16-16-16-16~~~~16-16-16-16-16-16-16~~-|
B|-12--12--12-12-12-12~~~~12-12-12-12-12-12-12~~~~12-12-12-12-12-12-12~~-|
G|-13--13--13-13-13-13~~~~13-13-13-13-13-13-13~~~~13-13-13-13-13-13-13~~-|
D|---------------------|-----------------------|-------------------------|
A|---------------------|-----------------------|-------------------------|
E|---------------------|-----------------------|-------------------------|

e|-14-14-14-14-14-14-14-|
B|-14-14-14-14-14-14-14-|
G|-15-15-15-15-15-15-15-|
D|----------------------|
A|----------------------|
E|----------------------|

Repeat Chorus Once

Song elements are repeated, I'm think you can figure out the order. When the verse that 
up to the final series of chorus, it sounds to me like there's another guitar there or 
3 is playing something different from the G|-6-6-6-6.... thing. It sounds fine if you play it like this:

e|-0-0-0-0-0-0-0-0-|-7-7-7-7-7-7-7-9--|-9--9--9--9--9--9--9--9--|
B|-2-2-2-2-2-2-2-2-|-9-9-9-9-9-9-9-11-|-11-11-11-11-11-11-11-11-|
G|-----------------|------------------|-------------------------|

You can figure out the rest from there. I hope my tab didn't suck! If you have any 
feel free to make them without asking. Cheers.
