Some fills aren't 100% like the original, I write simplificated fills here and there.
The roots notes are 100% right, i believe. I hope anyone find it useful.
This song is very cool to play once you learn and practice it.
s = slap note
if you can't play main riff at all, here is another sugestion:
G|----------------3---4---5-------| |----------------3-----------0---|
D|--------------------------------| |3---3-------------5-3----33-----|
A|3---3---3-----------------------| |--------------------------------|

VERSES B:
(at 02:58 more or less)
the exactly rhythm is a little hard ro write, try to play attention on
the bass to get it. But basically is the same thing as the chorus.

and then you keep playing the chorus bassline after the small break at 03:43
Good luck
