Throughout the song, the guitar riffs are played with variations.
Sometimes the rhythm changes slightly, and other times notes are left out.
Verse
High guitar
e|-10------------10-------10---------------| b|-10----------10---------10---------------| g|-11--------12-----------11---------------| d|-12------12-------------12---------------| a|-----------------------------------------| e|-----------------------------------------|
The arpeggiated 2nd chord is played irregularly during the song.
Also, the reversed guitar sound is most likely this chord backwards.
Guitar 1 is in drop D, but you might as well play guitar 2 in drop D
too, since it is possible to play both at the same time.

This is the guitar 2 riff. A lot of the notes are left out on
each repetition. The last bit should always be played though.

Chorus
With the second guitar, there are actually two guitars playing in either
ear. For the first two lines of the chorus they play roughly the same thing.
For the third the left plays 2a and the right plays 2b.
Notes in brackets are played on some variations.
