Instead of doing a note-for-note tab I've just included the necessary chords above. I only listed the chord progression so listen to the song to hear how they are strummed.

              [              2x             ]

C1 C1 C1 Breakdown:

|-------------------|
|-------------------|

|----0-2-0-3-0-2-0--|
|--3----------------|

[        4x         ]

|-------------------|-------------------|

|----0-2-0-3-0-2-0--|----0-2-0-3--------|
|--3----------------|--3----------------|

[                  2x                   ]

Next it sounds like they overdubbed a second guitar part which just strums a C (regular formation, not barred) while the lead guitar continues playing the above riff. But to play it as a single guitar part just switch to the C and strum around, maybe dropping the pinky on the third fret of the D string every once and a while.

Outro:
      C        G
|--3-3-3-3--33333333--|
|--5-5-5-5--33333333--|
|--5-5-5-5--44444444--|  play this a bunch of times
|--5-5-5-5--55555555--|
|--3-3-3-3--55555555--|
|-----------33333333--|

then the last phrase switches to C G C G CGCG
