Instead of doing a note-for-note tab I've just included
the necessary chords above. I only listed the chord progression
so listen to the song to hear how they are strummed.

Next it sounds like they overdubbed a second guitar part which just strums
a C (regular formation, not barred) while the lead guitar continues
playing the above riff. But to play it as a single guitar part just switch
to the C and strum around, maybe dropping the pinky on the third fret of the
D string every once and a while.
