My best attempt! It looks like in a video of them playing this song live Cris does play the hammer on to the open string, but I couldn't see how he played the earlier notes of the intro/chorus parts. [Intro]

A|--5--5--5--5-----------------------5-5--5-5--------------------------------|
E|--------------5--5--5--5---------------------5-5--5-5---5-5--5-5-----------| (repeat 2x)

[Chorus 1] Same as intro but with leading G's.

G|---------------------------------------------------------------------------|

[Chorus 3]

G|---------|--------------------------------|
D|---------|-----5--4----5--0------0--------|
A|---------|-/5--------3-------2h3----------|
E|-3-3--3--|--------------------------3--3--| (repeat 4x)

[Outro] Same as break

G|--------------------|
D|----5-4---5-4----5--|
A|--5-----5------5----|
E|--------------------|  (repeat forever)

Note / Alternative: It looks like in a video of them playing this song live Cris played the break/outro 
section up theneck on the E string. I think playing it at 5th fret of A string as shown above is probably 
easier. 
G|------------------------|
D|------------------------|
A|-----10-9----10-9----10-|
E|--10------10------10----|  (repeat)
