I find it easiest to use my thumb when playing the lower notes.

 (pay more attention to the rhythm and the feel than to the numbers)

Then there are a bunch of chords that I don't feel like figuring out right now and this lick right before the harmonica solo:

e|---3------------------------------|
B|---3------------------------------|
G|---4---------------------------3--|
D|---5---------------------3--5-----|
A|---5------------3--4--5-----------|
E|---3------3--6--------------------|

After the harmonica solo the rhythm guitar goes into this riff:

e|----------------------------------------------------|
B|----------------------------------------------------|
G|-------------------------------5-0-7-5----7-5-------|
D|---5---7-7-----5---7-7----5----5-0-7-5--0-7-5-0-5-7-|
A|-0-5-0-7-7---0-5-0-7-7--0-5-0--3-0-5-3--0-5-3-0-5-7-|
E|-0-3-0-5-5---0-3-0-5-5--0-3-0-------------------3-5-|

  During this part, the other guitar plays something like this:
e|------------------------------------|
B|------------------------------------|
G|------------------------------------|
D|--------7-------------7-------------|
A|------------------------------------|
E|------------------------------------|

  Follow the tab here loosely. Just play it in rhythm and it should sound alright:
  (Palm mute)
       bend it when it sounds appropriate
e|-----------------------------------------|
B|-----------------------------------------|
G|---5-7-7b-7-7-7-7-7-7-7-7-7-7-7-7-7-7r-5-|
D|-7---------------------------------------|

G|-5-7-5--5-7-5-5-7-5-5-------|
D|----------------------5-7---|
