Comments:
The copy I have on my computer of this song is really bad quality,
so I'm not exactly sure on everything.  Corrections will be appreciated.
Notes:
   - the tuning for Guitar 1 is correct (Drop D, all down a half-step).
   - Guitar 2 may be in normal tuning, which would make the second measure 
         of the chorus normal E-shaped barre chords on frets 8 and 10.  The
         only reason I think this may be true is that it's easier to play.
   - the second chord in the verse may be another Gb.
   - the intro riff is correct (the notes anyway), but both guitar lines vary
         throughout the song:  sometimes playing just chords, sometimes a
         chord/riff mix, and sometimes the arpeggios are slightly different.
   - CHORD NAMES ARE ACTUAL, NOT RELATIVE.
