The bridge is rather tough to figure out, since lee's guitar is mixed very
low.
but, from what i can figure out, he just plays these three chords....

D-----8----------0------0-------
G-----0----------0------0-------
G-----0----------0------0-------

for the verse, T plays a lot of madness. there are a lot of whammy bends high
up the neck,
as well as a lot of open D dips during the first verse. just listen to the record,
and have fun with it.....
for the chorus, T starts with a long pick slide, then doubles Lee's part like this
Eb------------------------------------------------------------------------
Eb------------------------------------------------------------------------
D-----8--8--8--8---7--7--7--7----3--3--3---------5---5/7--7--7--7--7------
