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:

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.


G|--------------------------------| |--------------------------------|
D|--------------------------------| |--------------------------------|
A|3---3---3-------1----2----3-----| |--------------------------------| 
E|------------------------------1-| |---1---1---------1-1---1---3--4-|

CHORUS x2 again

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

Good luck
