Listen to the song for the rhythm. It's not too difficult a song. 
I don?t know which is the bridge and which is the chorus so I just put 
The chorus as the first transition. 
I tabbed this from the album and the Listener Supported DVD. 
This is on Drop D tuning. 
 
 
Intro ? strum rhythmically!!!

-0--0---0--0---0--0---0--0----0--0---0--0---0--0-0-0--|  
 
The verse is basically the intro 
 
Chorus -  
"Say you will lay your arms down"

Breakdown ? Here the band breaks down and Dave just messes around with muting and sliding. I just laid out a little of what he plays. 
"Don't drink the water"

-x--x-12\---x-x--/5--x-x-x---x-x--0--x-x--5^--5^--x--x-x--| 
  
 
When the band comes back in -  
"Don't drink the water"
