I count at least three rhythm guitars playing during the verse: two electrics (one in
channel) and one acoustic in the left channel playing chords, though there may be another
in there somewhere.  Neither of the two electric guitars play the same thing twice, so 
above tab is a general approximation of what to play.  Have fun with it.

This is as close as I could get for the end.
