With the Rythym you can get from the song.

Here, I won't vouch for the timing on the second (7), and I can't
be bothered working it out fully. btw, the ()'s me harmonic.
Bass:
Just does a D note.

Back to the intro, with bass, and guitar on harmonics.
For the solo, the bit during the Am - G is:
e -|--------------------------|--------------------------|-
b -|--------------------------|--------------------------|-
g -|--------7^^---7--5--------|--7-----5-----------------|-
d -|--------------------------|-----------7-----5--7-----|-
a -|--------------------------|--------------------------|-
e -|--------------------------|--------------------------|-
| ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ | ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ |
repeat 2 times.
e -|--------------------------|--------------------------|-
b -|--------------------------|--------------------------|-
g -|--------7^^------7--------|--5--------4--------------|-
d -|--------------------------|--------------------------|-
a -|--------------------------|--------------------------|-
e -|--------------------------|--------------------------|-
| ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ | ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ |
Then with the F - Em bit, just go a little crazy, with lots
of heavy overdrive, and lots of use of the whammy bar.
The bass solo is this;
g -|--------7--------9--------|--10-------9--------10----|-
d -|--------------------------|--------------------------|-
a -|--------------------------|--------------------------|-
e -|--------------------------|--------------------------|-
| ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ | ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ |
g -|--------12-------10-------|--9--------10-------12----|-
d -|--------------------------|--------------------------|-
a -|--------------------------|--------------------------|-
e -|--------------------------|--------------------------|-
| ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ | ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ |
g -|--------14-------9--------|--10----9-----7-----5-----|-(7)-
d -|--------------------------|--------------------------|-----
a -|--------------------------|--------------------------|-----
e -|--------------------------|--------------------------|-----
| ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ | ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ | ^
repeat.
Then the harmonics return, but like this:
e -|--------------------------|--------------------------|-
b -|--------------------------|--------------------------|-
g -|--------------------------|-(7)---------------(7)----|-
d -|-------(12)-----(7)-------|----------(7)-------------|-
a -|--------------------------|--------------------------|-
e -|--------------------------|--------------------------|-
| ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ | ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ |
repeat, then end, with the bass doing a volume swell on a D.
