OK, this one is pretty easy. Just listen to the song and you'll figure it out.
When, on the tabbing one number is right above the other one, play those
together. In the Em chord you can just remove your left hand, it will sound
even better. The F#m chord, though, played normally (although it looks like
you can remove your left hand's fingers from the 4th and the 5th string.)

From : Rich
Descending riff (D.r) is played around the open A chord.
Sometimes an octive higher and sometimes altered a little.

Riff1 x10 (w/ guitar solo: around (D.f) instead of playing it until end)
Ends on synthesised A chord. (on which most of the song is based around!)
That's it, there are more than two guitars playing this but i'm pretty
sure the chord structure is correct.
================================================================================
From : Geordie McLellan
The distortion part of the verse has a simultaneous hammer-on, pull-off
in the D chord. And there's a C instead of a D in the chorus.
